Hi, Chris (nice to settle into another on-topic discussion). I'm not
familiar with InJoy per se. Have you tried bumping InJoy to a higher
adapter number? My assumption is that InJoy is configuring its own
virtual adapter in there somewhere, and this is what is confusing XWLAN.
Currently, AFAIK, there is no way to override XWLAN's detection of
GenMAC's adapter number (as there was previously). Perhaps this is an
issue which is already known to Christian, but knowing him as I do, he
would have mentioned it in the docs, and I can find no such entry in the
docs.

Go to your PLUGINS\xwlan directory and open a command prompt. Run
dimtest.exe from there, and please post your results.

Also, for the heck of it, would you mind posting your PROTOCOL.INI?
