See my comments above. having a second OS isn't a crime or a cheat;

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

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

Because it's so much easier with the widget (or standalone app) which Christian spent so much time developing!!!!!!

Look, you could certainly go into MPTS, go to the card settings, hardcode your SSID in there; then close MPTS, open TCP/IP configuration (assuming, of course, that you still have Java 1.1.8

ormally - 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

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

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