Welcome!

["Marius Milner" <mariusm@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello all, and welcome to the mailing list.

Many thanks to John at www.michiganwireless.org for hosting it.

Some of you know who I am or at least have heard my name. For those of
you that don't or haven't, I'm Marius Milner and I am the author of
NetStumbler and MiniStumbler. I work on it in my spare time, and I have
a number of other things in my life that take priority over it.

This coming Thursday will mark the 2nd anniversary of the first public
release of NetStumbler (version 0.1). Since then much has happened in
the world, in the Wireless LAN market, and in my personal life. The
birth of my 3rd child last August caused me to take a break from
NetStumbler for a while, but I'm back now.

This month I hope to release version 0.4 of both NetStumbler and
MiniStumbler. This version will include features that many people have
been asking for, including:
- Better support for Prism cards (including the Toshiba e740's built in
wireless)
- Numerous GUI-related bug fixes
- An installer for MiniStumbler, along with HPC2000 support
- Support for Earthmate GPS
- Possibly, support for the iPAQ h5450 series.
- I am still working on the stability issues that some people have with
version 0.3.30.


ABOUT THIS MAILING LIST

This list is unmoderated, but you must be a member in order to post to
it.
I would like it to be a low traffic list, so that people don't have to
sift through lots of chaff to find the more valuable material, so here
are some guidelines:
- Please don't ask FAQs. There are answers to many questions at
http://forums.netstumbler.com and at http://www.stumbler.net - please
look there first. In particular, please don't ask for source code, and
please don't ask how to write your own NetStumbler-like application.
Many people here will be happy to flame you if you do.
- This list is for discussing NetStumbler. If you have
non-NetStumbler-specific topics to discuss (WarDriving, Wireless LANs
generally, regional community wireless groups, to name a few), there are
many other mailing lists that are probably more suitable for that.
- Promotion of illegal activities may get you banned.
- Please follow normal mailing list etiquette: for example, when
replying to the list, please quote only the relevant portion of the
original message.


Thank you for subscribing, and have fun out there!
