What makes you think they don't all store the data in the same place?

They don't. I don't see the development of an industry wide definition set
of wireless profiles other than the microsoft SP2 set.

What makes you think there isn't a standard set of library calls to
manipulate them?

There is a Microsoft Wireless LAN API but it's not available if the user
has decided to use manufacturers wireless drivers.

You aren't going to explain how the standard commands and utility programs
manage to access this data that you claim is stored in odd places then?


Can you name a card/driver combination where things like the "net"
commands and "ipconfig" don't work?

Wow. Pure Dennis.

Wow pure TMH.

You are the one that claims they are all different, why can't you name one
so I can have a look?


Go on. How do you set SSID and WPA encryption with "net" and "ipconfig"
CLI tools? You can maybe do some things with "netsh wlan" in Vista, but
XP?

Who said it was XP?

It would be very stupid and unusual for a router/WAP manufacturer to issue
utilities that jerk around with the users network card configuration. An
unknown quantity.

I've checked the manual for the Dlink DAP-1160. It does nothing of the
sort and offers instructions for the user to do the adaptor encryption
setttings manually.

Screaming at someone for running the install disc and suggesting that had
ruined the install somewhere so suggesting system restore...

Why not, its the easy way to uninstall stuff.
Why do you think system restore was added if not to make life easy.


Pure Dennis. :-(

Yep, and nothing you have said is anything other than you stating you are
correct and failing to back up anything you say.

Pure TMH.
