If I turn off my wireless hub XWLAN scans for a connection using the profiles I
have created but I have not been able to get it to connect to any other network.

How do you create a profile that will connect to any available unsecure network?

 

For those still sticking to OS2/eCS, would you believe Big Blue has provided the tools?

From the readme of ibmprism.exe

5.3.2 Changing Wireless Networks

In order to change the active Wireless network do a "right-click" on WifiState
application window and from "Select Profile" menu choose the desired Wireless
network profile.


wifistat.exe is a part of the ibmprism.exe package available at http://www.ecomstation.nl


You can do the same with xlanstat, but I haven't sorted that out (yet?).

Actually, what you have to do is:

1. look which ssid are circulating around.
2. Make a profile for the ssid you want.
3. Activate the profile.

Applies to wifistat as well as xwlan.


btw: don't have to high an expactation about wifi here in Europe, you won't be overwhelmed by ssid.
