Intel 2915, no networks

With OS/2 and xwlan you've flexibility which you are probably not used to when you came from windoze f.i.

As you might have seen there are two inst*cmd (instwgt.cmd, instexe.cmd). Depending on how you've installed the previous version the program and it's corresponding files are in different places (directories). Moreover you can install the exe (wlanstat) in more than one place if you like. But you probably don't.

Just one scenario - if you've installed the widget (xwlan widget in xwp xcenter) then you most probably had run instwgt.cmd. If you simply run the instwgt.cmd which comes with 3.13 (3.12 or up) then all files should be updated. Locked files are unlocked while running instwgt. I've even packed into the unlock.exe which is needed for this.

Of course you can delete all files manually but as you saw some files (dlls) are locked. There are different versions of unlock.exe. The best ones are coming with xwlan ;) and rpm. But even eCS has one included which should work.

'Conflict between xwlans' - I can not imagine what you mean by that. If you're running f.i. wlanstat.exe you can not run xwlan widget at the same time. But this is clearly visible as xwlan code checks for that.

Jaroslav:
Sorry, i didnt install it. The downloaded xwlan was a packaged folder, which in Windows world is called portable - no need to install, just copy this folder to a local drive and you are set to go. I looked up in the folder of xwlan, and didnt find any instwgt.cmd  . Or maybe i didnt understand correctly, and it is triggered whithin first launch?

Jaroslav:
For your information, an old xwlan isnt updated. I closed new and opened old version, at first it did found the nets, but they were unclickable, i relaunched it and now it still cant recognise any net.

Jaroslav:
And there aint no unlock.exe in the old xwlan 3.10, only in 3.13, which works only for 3.13.

Jaroslav:
Oh, i finaly updated xwlan, so ignore the above posts. Now i cant connect. I have two hotspots. My home WPA2-PSK and my phone's unprotected - without any password. I created matching profiles to both, as sugested in a nearby thread. 1st hostpot - i click connect, the window with hotspot list closes and no reaction further. 2nd, phone, is marked with (*), the connect button is greyed out. Maybe because it is classified  a public net, while no password, i dont know.
