Proper WLAN functionality

[Jeronimo]

I bought a WLAN PCI card 2 days ago and been trying to create a new vLite'd Windows x64 SP1 version to get it to work properly. Either it was too late yesterday or too early today, because I can not seem to find the proper components to keep.

I already unchecked WLAN support in vLite, but this does not allow me to properly manually configure it for my Router: I can make the appropriate set-up (manual set-up, enter SID and encryption type, etc.), however I can not find this set-up afterwards and it appears as not connected under my Network Connections. I do not actually need the screen where I can see which Wireless networks are available and from which I can check my manually entered preferred Wireless networks, but it would be helpful and maybe even necessary?

Do I need the "Network Center" or "WLAN Zero Configuration" or "Network Location Awareness" any other component additionally kept?

you must run the WLAN configuration service from Vista or the tool from your manufacturer.

Well from the manufacturer I have not such tool (TP-Link) and the WLAN configuration service is what I could be missing, but by which component is it removed. I can right click on the Wireless card in Network configuration and select a set-up and then do the set-up as explained in my 1st post, but this does not seem like the WLAN configuration service to me.

please post your ini, to see what you've removed.

While I was making an export of my preset, I again noticed the wrong bloody compatibility option was selected (I selected Aero Glass it changed to File and printer sharing (server)). I already reported this to nuhi, but now some additional stuff comes to mind:

The compatibility option was changed and the options did not appear, however the components that were "protected"/not shown were in fact removed.

I kept overlooking settings, that were not shown that I did select for removal in the past:

TCP/IP NetBios Helper

Network and Sharing Center

Network List Service

Network Location Awareness

I am going to try with the Network and Sharing center kept, most likely that it work then.

[MagicAndre1981]

you've removed nearly all network stuff. Leave DNS, Network List Service, Network Location Awareness (NLA), Diagnostics and Network and Sharing Center in.

[Jeronimo]

It works properly with all those kept: I tested with Network and Sharing Center kept and that worked for my WLAN and just now with it even removed it still works. I am going to disable the compatibility option and will not use it anymore, something is really skrewed with it.

Gotta make compatibility option for WLAN, it's time since this version added many network stuff.
