Generic/3rd party Wireless Configuration utility ??

I'm using Win2K with a Dell TrueMobile 1150 Mini-Pci card
that I finally got to work on a Dell Lattitude 610 notebook.

I'm looking for a Generic or Universal wireless configuration
utility like the one in Windows XP that I can use in Windows
2000 instead of the standard one that comes with the wireless
card.

Any ideas ?

thanks

No, just an explanation. In Windoze XP, Microsloth instroduced
Wireless Zero Config which is what you're looking for. It's only
available for XP and has not been released for W2K. Sorry.

It would actually be fairly simple to write such a utility as all it
does is act as a front end for NDIS 5.x calls. However, nobody has
seen a need for the older operating systems, and XP already has one
(WZC) that works.

Sorry.

Maybe. I found these files which may be a W2k version.
They must be from a service pack or other Microsoft Update.

From properties of wzcsetup.exe:

Yep:
C:\WINNT\system32>wzcsetup
Usage: wzcsetup /i /u
/i - to install the WZCSVC component.
/u - to uninstall WZCSVC.
However, it may not be Wireless Zero Config despite the name. It's
part of the 802.1x authentication package. See:
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;313664
and note the list of files included. Looks like they started to do
Wireless Zero Config for W2K, but stopped for some reason.

Donald Davis suggested using the Boingo client. That will work.

T-Mobile also has a client program:
http://client.hotspot.t-mobile.com

There's also McAfee free WPA client at:
http://www.wirelesssecuritycorp.com/...PAAssistant.do
which can act as a connection manager.

IBM has their ThinkVantage Access Connection front end. Toshiba has
their Config-Free program, which is not exactly a client manager but
is close.
