Thanks for the help that got me closer..   It works for a few seconds 
but then it stops..   It will detect a access point and get 1-15 packets 
then it stops.  No errors or anything just doesnt report any access 
points any more.

I had to add "ifconfig wi0 up" to the begining of that script otherwise 
i  get a error from pcap saying that the network is down when i start 
dstumbler.

Are you running the 3crew737a ?   Mine says rev2 on the back does yours? 
  Just wondering if anybody has had this card working.

Thanks,
Jacob
