This setup should be working. It is not realy needed to put in your MAC address.


To start using the WIFI network I used (before WLAN monitor :-) the following batch file:
_______________________________
/* turn on the radio 
 * This command activates the 802.11b interface 
 * original batch file by Neil Waldhauer
* The wireless NIC should be inserted in the PC Card slot 
 */ 
say "Activating the wireless network card" 
' ifconfig lan0 down' 
' ifconfig lan0 delete' 
'dhcpmon -t' 
'route -fh' 
'arp -f' 
'dhcpstrt -i lan1 -d 10' 
say "Wireless networking enabled"
________________________________


To stop using the WIFI card you can use:

_________________________________
/* turn off the radio 
 * This command deactivates the 802.11b interface 
*/ 
say "Deactivating the wireless network card" 
' ifconfig lan1 down' 
' ifconfig lan1 delete' 
'dhcpmon -t' 
'route -fh' 
'arp -f' 
'dhcpstrt -i lan0 -d 20' 
say "Cable networking enabled"
_________________________________

You can then switch off the power of your WIFI-card with wifistat.exe.
Wifistat.exe is also used to see the status of you WIFI card.

Kind regards,
Frank
