No crashes to report in Windows 7 RC1 64bit.

I must have refreshed at least 30 times by now.

I think you have a winner here NVME

I just got hit with a question:

I was going over the available return bands for the Physical return; Will this show a return for BlueTooth?

According to the API it should, so instead of 802.11x , you should see something else. HOWEVER, that will only happen if you direct the plugin to use your bluetooth adapter. For which you need to set the WifiIntfID value to 1 (or 2 or 3 , whichever corresponds to your bluetooth adapter)

Very good.

Here is another question

This regards the LIST function.

Say you are at a University campus and you are near by a dozen WLAN connections; Will these all show?
If so; is there a way to limit the list to say, the top 5 strongest signals?

Otherwise, I can think of a few places in Albuquerque, NM downtown where I could have a list of 30 or more at any given time.
This could be problematic

Thoughts?

@ nvme

I have been pluging along at this plugin in both Vista 32bit and 7 64bit all day. not a single hitch.

I have developed 2 skins based on this plugn, but I shall not release it until you clear it.

I hope it makes the trunk and becomes an official plugin, by the gods you deserve at least that much.

the screen shots can be found here:

As you require anything, let me know

Cheers :D
