"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"
