NetStumbler can't find any wireless access points

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 9300, Windows XP HE SP2 with the Intel
PROSet/Wireless integrated card. When I fire up NetStumbler, it isn't
finding any wireless access points even though my 9300 can find bunches of
them. What am I not configuring properly? I've looked at the information
on the NetStumbler website and from what I can see, NetStumbler should just
start working as soon as it is started.

No. NetStumbler starts up and reports no access points detected. I've
tried the Auto Reconfigure button, no change. At this moment, I can see
five networks on my Intel wireless card. NetStumbler sees nothing.

Found the answer. My card was identified in devices as Intel PRO Wireless
2200BG Network Connection Prism 2. I selected the NDIS 5.1 option for my
card and the wireless access points were then found.
