:P

maybe not here, but I did submit an email to friend at MSDN.
Hopefully it means more to them than us.
it could be nothing, but I wish to leave nothing out.

Besides a good tester, always publishes all the test findings

Whether it;s Greek or not :P

The problem is, that binary code translates to "Can you help an old altar boy out Father?" in ASCII. That concerns me...

Then I bow to your knowledge

It is far and away above me.

I am just collecting information

Again it maybe unrelated, as this is so far the only time related log issue wo Windows, all the other times I experience the API issue, the log is several seconds behind.

Of course I am seeing this over long term watching

@sgt,subliml: The error you are seeing is not thrown by windows, its from my plugin. So windows logs won't hold any information about it :P. The error basically means that for some reason the plugin is not able to connect to Native Wifi (the windows wifi service). The plugin can't do anything without a connection to this service, therefore it just stops reporting if this error occurs. Standby while i fish out why it would return this error.

Also are you guys using any 3rd party software to control your wireless adapter ? i know a lot of people use the Intel Pro Wireless software that comes with their adapter. If you are using that then Native Wifi is disabled and you will get that error for sure in such a case.

You are doing a great job testing. I wish I could actually help, instead of just posting pithy and smartass comments with references to "The Exorcist", but I'm hard wired to the router and my laptop is being used by my daughter. Keep going, you guys will get it.

No apologies Senpai

We all offer what we can :ugeek:

And anecdotes are good as well, sometimes humor is need to relieve stress and show that we are having a good time

Besides I love beta testing

remember our earlier conversation about how I like the Latest and Greatest thing. I also understand it comes at a cost

@sgt, subliml : can you guys download and test this new build. I added some error codes that may help me determine why you are getting these errors. Also added a new variable that controls the WLAN API version, however it only refers to Vista so i doubt it will fix anything.

If you do get an error, it should have a code at the end, if you can post that here that would be great. It should say "Unable to open WLAN API Handle! (err code: XYZ)"
