Hi all,

I've heard many stories that on M4 the Micrsoft ZeroConfigure wireless does
not play nicely with the whole system.

I have also experienced some suspicous problems: mostly, the wireless failed
many times when resuming from standby( I have 1.5 GB memory, but this
problem was also recurring when I had 512MB RAM previously...)

To cure this problem, I have already uninstalled Toshiba ConfigureFree. And
also somewhere in control panel, I have chosen "don't let MS configure
wirelss"...

But it seemed that MS is stilling in controling of the wireless. Every time
when the wireless failed after resuming from standby, I tried to launch
manually the Intel Proset wireless utility. It finds available wireless
networks successfully, but when I click the "connect" button, it complains
that "An other application is controlling the wireless adaptor"...

This shows that the MS is still controlling the wireless. The Intel Proset
does not even have an opportunity to grab the wirelss card.

How can I completely let Intel Proset to control the wireless card?

thanks a lot

The problem does not lie with the Wireless Card, it's Software, or the
fact that it is being used on a MS O/S.
The problem is that there are two software configuration programs
trying to set the card access to the network.
You have to go to the advanced tab of the wireless network in question
and uncheck the box "Allow Windows to manage wireless network".
Re-boot your machine and run the Intel Configuration Software.

As I have reported, I have already made sure that step is done. And the
Wireless MS ZeroConfigure is disabled even from startup...

But when it resumes from standby, the wireless failure still occurs 25% of
time. And when it failed, I run Intel Proset software utility, it still
complains that the wireless card is in use for another application...

You might, as a test - disable the following 3 Services and see how
your Wireless functions.
(1.) Wireless Zero Config
(2.) SSDP Discovery Service
(3.) Universal Plug and Play Host
I usually defer all Wireless control to XP's native/built-in functions so
I'm not too well versed on the Proset for wireless.
