No I meant is the wlan card running? Is it connected to a network? Was it in off line mode?

On a side note, it looks like the wireless drivers aren't reporting correctly to airodump. When I run it on the handheld it's showing my work networks as wpa2. I know for a fact they are open non-encrypted networks. I've also had issues where I ran the application and then quit it, but it kept running in the background and ran down the battery in about two hours.
