So, wlanstat.exe is running here ...so what?

You have to at least have a cursory look at the documentation to configure the interface


there is no interface ....

Yes there is. LAN0 is one interface, and LAN1 is another. From what I've scanned in this thread, LAN0 is your wired interface (which has nothing to do with wlanstat) and LAN1 is your wireless interface. You have to tell wlanstat to use LAN1.

normally - read: without Christian's app!!! - only ***ONE*** interface may be configured for DHCP) and the other for a static IP, save your settings, close the configuration notebook, and


that's clear at last.

Let's be sure: only one interface may be configured for DHCP AND be active. The scripts everyone is discussing specifically turn OFF the active DHCP-configured interface and activate the other interface (which then becomes the only ACTIVE interface running the DHCP client).


However, it's so much easier to just install the card, install Christian's app,


you have to install 1st xwp..

NO YOU DON'T. WLANSTAT ***IS*** Christian's app - the standalone version.

configured wlanstat to use DHCP for the wireless interface (something you ***CANNOT*** do with the TCP/IP configuraiton notebook).

Well, now I know I have to restrict myself to lan0 :-)

No, you need to either use one of the scripts provided here OR use wlanstat. The choice is yours. You just can't do it with the TCP/IP configuration notebook. You may indeed have LAN0, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, LAN4...LAN7 - yes, that's eight adapters! - all configured for different network cards (many of us testing and developing have several NIC drivers loaded and bound at boot time). You just need to temporarily disable DHCP on all but the one which needs to get a dynamic address and/or any conflicting network bindings (but let's not get into that yet, shall we?).
