In 1.2 there was a page on which you could bind the wlan application
to a netx interface. This is removed in 2.0. However, I think that the
problem is somewhere there... I'll try to remove my net1 (wired
ethernet) from mpts, to see whether that fixes it. I already tried to
swith places between the wired and wireless interface, but that didn't
resolve it. I hope to come back on this tonight (CET).
