I can't get netstumbler to work with my laptop and win7 (even in XP compat mode).
Can anyone recommend a sniffer that will?

I'm having interference problems and I want to have a look for clear channels.
Apparently I'm 10 years old on MSE. Happy birthday to me...etc

    netstumbler only works with a small number of cards. As mentioned, use InSSIDer.

    Thanks guys. That works and it's helped me solve my problem.
    I've found a spare channel that happily doesn't interfere with my CCTV.
    Cheers.
