Have you tried just `dstumbler wi0` ? I need the -o with my Netgear
card.
$ dmesg | grep wi0
wi0: <NETGEAR MA401 Wireless PC Card> at port 0x100-0x13f irq 11 function 0 config 1 on pccard0
wi0: 802.11 address: 00:30:ab:11:f6:88
wi0: using RF:PRISM2 MAC:HFA3841 CARD:HWB3163 rev.A
wi0: Intersil Firmware: Primary (0.3.0), Station (0.8.3)
wi0: 11b rates: 1Mbps 2Mbps 5.5Mbps 11Mbps
$ sudo dstumbler wi0 -o
[fires up]
I don't know if Lucent cards are supported or not. How old is your
kernel, btw? You should update to -CURRENT as there have been many
wlan fixes since 5.1-RELEASE. -sc
