For the many, many people that have emailed me about Windows 7 and Windows Vista: I have dusted off the code, which apparently I last edited in 2006, and I am now working on a new NetStumbler release that should make you a bit happier. In fact, this release will make many people much happier. Here are some of the long-awaited features that I will include:

1. Use of native WLAN APIs on Vista and Windows 7; please note, though, that the scan results will refresh only about every 20-30 seconds :(
2. Support for Garmin USB GPS, bluetooth GPS
3. Support for kismet drones as data sources (yes, you read that right)

Things I would like to do, but haven't quite finished yet:

1. GPS from gpsd (half done, not very tested)
2. Geographic map display (works, but is disappointing until you can stick a background map on it)
3. A text output format that doesn't suck (the existing text format is the way it is for lengthy historical reasons)
4. Ability to run within Wine on Mac and Linux (this was working, I don't know why it broke)
5. Split the old and crufty NDA-ridden code out into its own binary distribution and open source the rest (this will take a while)

For those of you that are keen to try this new version, stay tuned. Don't expect replies to all your emails. For those that want it right now: no you don't, it's too crashy.
