Buffalo G card

Regarding Buffalo WLI-CB-G54A-3 This is the only 802.11G card I've seen
with an antenna. Can anyone tell me,
- What chipset it uses?
- If it will work with Netstumbler under Win XP?

Broadcom BCM94306.

In my experience, Netstumbler is iffy with cards based on Broadcom chipsets.
I have a mini-PCI G card in my notebook based on the same chipset as the
Buffalo PC Card you mentioned. When I try to run Netstumbler it closes
immediately. It worked for a while with a B mini PCI card I had that was
also Broadcom based, but after a driver update it did the same thing.

I had the same issue until I disabled the 'Network Bridge' in XP. Also
download the latest drivers from Buffalo Tech's website.

Good luck,
