This was my misconception. Then lan0 is of course the correct interface 
to set.

Of course not. the widget sets the interface to lan7 just for safety. 
This is a dummy value, in order not to misconfigure lan0, if that is 
used for a cabled connection

This is the way it should work

This is not the way it should work, it should perform the DHCP request 
after reboot. Please make sure that the WLAN nic is _not_ configured in 
the TCP/IP configuration. Here it works flawlessly set to lan2 (that is 
for my WLAN nic, lan0 is a cabled connection and lan1 is the null 
driver). Everytime I launch the widget, it performs the DHCP request. 
With the V1.02, this should happen even every time when you close and 
restart the XCenter (in the forthcoming version I implemented something 
to prevent at least this). Could you try that  ?

thanx, Christian
