Hi, Just shipped 200 pocket pcs to a customer who now wants to know if
we can configure the network on the ppc programatically.

When the ppcs lose battery, the wifi card driver gets lost and all the
network settings go with it. User on the ground isn't going to want to
mess around with network SSIDs and encryption keys.

I checked the registry before and after installation and there are a
small number of new keys but - and this doesn't surprise me - it looks
like the wireless settings are encrypted. Have just tried stuffing
these settings into an unsuspecting ppc and it's now dead.

Any suggestions? Maybe I should try the wifi card vendor.
