System Wide Advanced Settings
Profile Management Options
The following Profile Management options can be found in Advanced Settings.
Display available networks when not associated: When cleared, disables the Intel(R)
PROSet wireless manager dialog listing the available networks. When checked, the Intel
Configuration Service running in the background automatically displays available
networks not listed in the Profile List. This method provides automatic connection to
available networks in the range of your wireless adapter. The Configuration Service
constantly monitors your wireless adapter's connection status. If no matching profiles are
found in the Profile List for a network, a dialog automatically displays the available
network access points and computers (ad hoc mode) within range of the wireless
adapter. The Configuration Service can also be used if there is more than one wireless
adapter installed using 802.11b bands. When the Intel Configuration Service dialog is
displayed, listing the available networks, checking "Don’t show this again" option, will
prevent the dialog from displaying again if the adapter becomes unassociated. The
Configuration Service will continue to function and attempt to connect, using a profile
from the Profile List, or to an available network depending on the selection mode. This
means that if Connect Using Preferred Profiles Only is selected and no matching profile
is found, then the adapter will remain unassociated. You can still use the Connect button
from the Networks tab to connect to an available network.
Notify when disabling profile management features: When cleared, Windows XP
Zero Configuration wireless manager is enabled. When checked, a message dialog
"Another wireless LAN utility is communicating with the Intel(R) PRO/Wireless LAN
adapter. To avoid conflicts, Intel(R) PROSet has temporarily disabled its Profile
Management features" is displayed. For instance, if Windows XP Zero Configuration is
enabled, the Connect button on the Profile page cannot be used to connect to any
available networks. The Scan button can be used to scan for available networks.
