I have a similar problem (I think) with the standalone XWLAN monitor - in some
cases when I insert the wireless card, the interface that XWLAN tries to set
up isn't the same one that is defined to TCP/IP.
One case is when I have both the wired and wireless interfaces defined in
procotol.ini, but the wired PCCARD is not installed when I boot (it's not
built-in on my laptop). Thus there's no LAN0 there; when I insert the
wireless card it's assigned LAN0, but XWLAN then tries to set it up as LAN1 (I
think because it's the second interface defined in protocol.ini). This also
prevents me from defining more than one wireless card in protocol.ini as the
second one ends up as LAN2 but TCP/IP sets it up as LAN1 (assuming LAN0 does
get set up).
Maybe this is a bug, though, since shouldn't XWLAN be able to tell which
interface the card has been assigned?
Thanks,

P.S. Has anyone else found that the drivers for the IBM High Rate Wireless
Card (both ibmwifi2 and genprism) seem unable to get the MAC address if the
card is inserted after bootup? I never had this problem with the Cisco 350
(which I don't have with me right now since I needed support for WEP), and it
had me practically tearing my hair out until I figured that out.
