Christian, thanks for jumping in.

Regedit2 shows the key "Wireless LAN Monitor:Bindings" in
HINI_USER_PROFILE (OS2.INI). It has the following values and data:
E100B$ 1
PRISMP$ 0
So, it seems that wxlan indeed finds the right settings.

Any hints where to search, what data to report, etc?

Best regards,
