Re: looking for wireless speed/signal meter

Matt,

doesn't that work with prism2 only; i.e., not lucent.
It's in 4.7 with prism2 only.

btw, somebody managed to break my port (it won't compile)
of wscan from 4.6 to 4.7.  This was done by mucking with
the wicache # stuff I believe.  

Although given wicontrol -L working with prism2, I might as 
well make a wscan 2.0 when I can get around to it.

It would be nice at some point to know why certain Lucent/Orinoco
card firmware CAN support sending a probe and getting back
N APs, and (possibly?) some cannot?  Anybody have any clues on that,
or what firmware can do it, and what can't?
