This hsould not have any impact on how eCenter works

Understood.

That does no harm to XWLAN. You may want to use the battery widget from the plugin page (xworkplace.org contains a link to this page)

Ooops sounds weird. Never had such a behaviour. I could not even think for a reason why this should happen. And I installed it on lots of eCS1.2MR like this without any flaw...

That is where I misunderstood you. I thought you would want to do this to solve the problem. I expect that whatever reason is the source of error under eCS1.2MR, it is not XWLAN or eCenter, compared to W4 with XWorkplace.

So you should under eCS.

:-) It will not work under eCS exactly like this, but you can tweak XWLAN to at least come close to this.

The Realtek driver should be native, and the Intel one should be Genmac AFAIK. Try to switch order of the drivers (switch the adapter number in MPTS).

Well you should not. Please see xwlaneng.inf rom the package ZIP file and read the sections
?"Wireless and cabled connection to the same Network" and
?"Switching between wireless and cabled connections"
below the page "Configuration" to find out more. But unless you fix that basic problem with connecting to a cabled and wireless network, this will of course not help much.

I see no reason why the same shouldn't work under 1.2MR as well I see however that the Genmac revision coming with the RC3 could be newer. This revision could help under 1.2MR to fix the driver problem.
