I'm trying to configure the device emulator to use my development
box's wireless adapter. I can launch (some images) with that option
successfully, but when I click on the Wireless Manager app (in Windows
Mobile), it refuses to launch.

Has anyone done this successfully?

You you're expecting the WinMo emulator to see the PC's NIC as wireless and
add it into the WinMo wireless stuff? That's simply not going to happen.
The emulator has no idea it's wireless - my bet is that it's just bound to
an NDIS interface. It would be a boatload of work to get it to see it as
wireless and marshal all of the wireless-specific stuff between the two
devices, and I can't imagine anyone wanting to go through the pain of that.
Just get a physical device with a radio.

Thanks, Chris. I guess I knew it was a reach. If I had hardware for
our target device, I'd use it, of course. However, it's still under
development.

Hey Mic,
Not sure that will happen. The emulator 'emulates' these services, not
replacements. Just like the storage card, it is really a folder on your
system - local or network drive. When you setup the celluar emulator you can
send and rec sms - but not really. Try going to Tools, Device Emualtor
Manager and rigth click your emulator and craddle the device and see if your
surfing is working.
