Subject:  [VOICENWS] SW: Wireless LAN Monitor (WLAN) 1.10


From: madodelDESPAM at ptdprolog.net 

ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/wlan/xwlan110.zip

"this program provides the following features: 

 monitoring the status of your Wireless LAN connection 
 support of multipe connection profiles, which can be exported and
imported 
 optionally configuring the TCP/IP interface of the Wireless LAN device 
 automatic connection scan on startup 
 automatic generation of WEP keys 
 detection of public Wireless LANs 

The Wireless LAN Monitor is available both as a XCenter Widget as well as
a standalone program. If either XWorkplace or the OEM-Version EWorkplace
(contained in eComStation V1.1 or better) is installed, the usage of the
XCenter Widget is recommended because of the better integration into the
user interface. "

This version has fixed the problem I had with the previous version of not
allowing selection of a different profile.  From the revision history for
1.10 in the documentation:

"New: 

added hotspot mode and a feature to create a new profile from a
connection to a hotspot 

added feature to un- or reconfigure the TCP/IP interface 

added feature to call a script on disconnect and connect events 

added IP address range conflict detection for cases, where the TCP/IP
interface of the Wireless LAN device is to be configured for the same
address range like one of the other TCP/IP interfaces in the system 

added new property settings: 

-new page for Radio settings 
-new page for Script settings 
-new property error beep, when getting out of range on page Errorhandling 

added new status codes 

-TCP/IP interface disabled 
-script executing 

added new menu items 

-Public hotspot 
-TCP/IP interface 
-WLAN device 

connection profiles can now be copied 

Wireless LAN Monitor now appends the default extension *.wlp to the names
of the files, to which connection profiles are exported, if no filename
extension has been specified. In order to store to a file without a
filename extension, specify a dot at the end of the filename. 

adds Wireless LAN driver title to tooltip text if no card is detected 

Fixed: 

in order to replace the XCenter Widget DLL it is now sufficient to close
all XCenter instances. Before, it was required to restart the Workplace
Shell. 

encryption data is now being sent to the Wireless LAN driver only if it
reported to support encryption. If it was sent anyway before, this would
leave the Wireless LAN Monitor in an indefinite state 

switching between Wireless LAN drivers will now properly work 

fixed undo error on the properties page   

when configuring the TCP/IP interface of the Wireless LAN device, the ARP
cache will now be flushed 

the connection profile selection dialog does not anymore allow deletion
of the currently active connection profile 

tooltip text will not longer be modified if mouse pointer is not over
widget 

handling of DHCP configuration and release of DHCP lease reworked and
optimized 

storage of properties data redesigned, preventing incompatibilities
between future versions 

Wireless LAN Monitor will now also load status strings in other language
than english 

reworked notificaton beeps on events when getting in range or out of
range 

Online Help: 

 Monitor Status Display: added information on new status bitmaps 
 Radio: new property page 
 Errorhandling: added new property for range beeps 
 Script: new property page 
 Detecting public Wireless LANs: new page on hotspot mode 
 Mouse Actions and Additional options for the standalone Wireless LAN
Monitor: added information on moving the standalone program with mouse
button one 
 Limitations: removed information concerning problems when replacing the
XCenter Widget DLL"
