I removed the settings from MPTS / Protocol.ini and only have the SSID and Key in Wifistate and now I get the DHCP assignment fairly quick.
If I configure the NIC only in MPTS / Protocol.ini with the encryption key I can't get on the network at all. But if I do the same thing with an AP that is
an open system it connects to the network just fine. Is that a bug? Or is Wifistate supposed to be a requirement?
