Use any Ini Editor, like the free initor from hobbes, and export the 
application "WifiState" from the "User INI" or OS2.ini. On the new 
system, import it.

If you are not familiar with that, try my  IMPINI command line utility 
from my homepage (see sig), backup all WifiState profiles with:

IMPINI USER export.ini /A:"WifiState"

and restore it on the same or new system with

IMPINI export.ini USER

Due to the very unfortunate way of how the old WifiState app saves the 
date, it would be complicated to store only one profile this way. 
Fortunately this is not required in this case.


hope that helps.

bye, Christian
