Just FWIW, I am using an old driver [That works!] for my PRISM WiFi
adapter in an A30p TPad. And, I am using one of the last of the old
WiFiState monitors [because it works].
I am using exactly the same sequence of commands that Lewis posted
above to switch between WiFi and hardwired connections. [I think I may
have gotten this sequence from Lewis when I first got my Wireless AP
about three years ago. Thank you!]
I can't take the credit; I stole it from Neil! ;-)
To reverse the connection, the opposite command has LAN0 instead of
LAN1 and LAN1 in place of LAN0. I simply manually turn the radio
on/off depending on which way I am switching.
Yes, I have a NICOFF.CMD, as well.
I've been considering moving to the newer driver/monitor for quite a
while, but have not had time to deal with any possible problems. All
the reported problems with these other drivers/monitor levels have me a
little reluctant to change. I usually try to keep up with the latest
'stuff' but in this case, maybe...
If it ain't broke, don't fix it...
is not such a bad idea.
True enough. In my caase, however, new ThinkPad; new drivers. Many issues seem to have been resolved with some of the very latest builds of GenMAC (and no, everyone, I don't have a newer build of GenMAC than 1.7! :-) ) and XWLAN (and XWLAN is - IMO - a must-have utility for anyone who spends time switching from one wireless network to another or between different wireless nets and wired).
