If you are referring to establishing an association with an access point, then this is done as soon as the driver is loaded, even before a higher level protocol (TCP, UDP, NetBIOS, IPX, etc.) is bound to the card, AFAIK. > A wireless >connection is not usually established at computer user logon time but once the logon screen has passed.

Don't use it. Use a connection manager for the card (i.e., the one provided by the manufacturer) or for ThinkPads (and probably others), try the IBM Access Connections utility. I've had nothing but problems dealing with the supposedly-more-user-friendly XP connection manager. As with most software from Redmond, they shipped it before they started thinking out-of-the-box (the shipping box, that is!). -- Lewis ------------------------------------------------------------ Lewis G Rosenthal, CNA Rosenthal & Rosenthal Accountants / Network Consultants New York / Northern Virginia www.2rosenthals.com Team OS/2 / NetWare Users International www.novell.com ------------------------------------------------------------ This OS/2 system (Apollo) uptime is 1 days 04:25 hours and 10 seconds =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= To unsubscribe from this list, send a message to steward@2rosenthals.com with the command "unsubscribe os2-wireless_users" in the body (omit the quotes).
