Is there any integrated WiFi manager for BA? Integrated - I mean the one that would be a merge of the default WM5 Wireless manager and the Network Cards->Wireless portion? Additionally an 'Apply' (after selecting the 'Wireless LAN On') would be useful...

Can you easily turn the wifi, 3G, and GPRS radios on/off on the Kaiser or do you have to install a special program to be able to do that? Are there any good comm manager programs out there?
I have one from t-mobile uk and the comm manager that is installed on mine gives you
Flight Mode
Ability to switch phone off and on (without using flight mode)
Bluetooth
Wlan
Microsoft Direct Push
Data Connection
Ringer
Internet Sharing
and ActiveSync
all these can be switched on or off within the comm manager that comes bundled with it.
The gprs can be switched of simply by clicking the icon and it will give you an option to turn it off
Hope this helps
The Kaiser has a commanager, there just isn't a dedicated button for it like there is on other devices. You have to go in to programs in the start menu and click on Comm Manager to activate it.
As you get comfortable with installing cabs and editing the registry, you can get a different comm manager. I use Schen's 10 button comm manager which does have seperate 3G and connection break buttons. Read and learn, this site is the best!
Hey all,
I installed the JUVS CommMgr because I like the UI much better than the Tilt default Comm Manager. Unfortunately, the JUVS is unable to turn my WiFi on/off.
From the _Setup.xml, it looks like it's trying to use Windows\WLanMgr.exe, which doesn't exist on my Tilt (I do have WLANSettings.exe).
Anyone have a fix for this?
Thanks!

That's not the issue, and you may not be seeing the wlanmgr.exe because it's hidden.
Goto HKLM\Software\HTC\CommManager\WLAN and change the DeviceName key so that the end of it reads: TNETW12511
There will be a long string of characters before that. Leave that in there.
That also fixes the 10 button comm manager.
I checked that reg entry, and it is already set to "TNETW12511".
Any other ideas?
Thanks,
Florp
Change the value from "TNETW12511" into "TNETWLN1" and you should be fine. don't change anything else.
Enjoy !!!!!!
I have a v1615 (Vodafone UK branded TyTnII) and can confirm that the registry setting MUST be "TNETW12511".
Another one that appears to spring up that is also incorrect is "TIACXWLN1". Of course, if yours is a standard HTC and not re-branded to Vodafone as the v1615 then maybe it should be that setting??
I can also confirm that the executable required should NOT be "WLanMgr.exe" but should be instead "WLANSettings.exe".
With the above config, the button works correctly and the Wireless LAN Manager can be loaded from the Settings menu.
I have searched for WLanMgr.exe throughout the device with hidden files enabled without any files being found. I guess it is possible that Vodafone have a different Wireless Manager in their ROM.
For informational purposes, attached are some screen shots of my device:
1 - shows the build etc... is this the right screen to show for ROM or is this just for the version of WM6?
2 - Shows the "HTC.Kaiser.CommManager.3G-GSM-schen.CAB" Comm Manager which now works flawlessly.
3 - Shows my Wireless LAN Manager... Is this the same as others??
Hope the above helps others out in the same predicament.
Now I know what allows me to run this all properly, I may choose one of the other Comm Managers as I really want Push Email included in the list.
On a related note... why is Ringer even included in a Comms Manager?? I know HTC included it originally but seems odd as it's hardly a communications setting!
Confirmed that wlan should be set to "TNETW12511" on Dutch T-mobile branded kaiser
Problem: when I connect the HTC with my portable pc, only internal sites are accessible..
The only difference with at home is, that the portable at work, uses "Use automatic configuration script" in IE - Tools - Internet options - Connections - Lan settings".
I've looked everywhere in the PIE's options where to 'activate' the use of the same script.. but couldn't find it.
Anyone any ideas?
thx!
Do you connect to many different Wifi connections?
Do you have some WiFi connections using fixed IP and default gateway?
Does the next WiFi connection require DHCP?
Well I think I have found the answer!
A little free app called WifiProfiles
I have installed it on my TyTN II and it allows me to create a profile for work with a fixed IP and default gateway - a profile for home with DHCP and a fixed default gateway - a profile for general roaming when everything is DHCP and automatic and as many other profiles as you want.
Wifi Profiles for Windows Mobile 5.0 and 6.0 Professional.
Highlighted Features:
- Create and apply wifi profile.
- Apply profile without soft reset.
- Automatic discovery of wlan (wifi) adapter.
- Fast switch to DHCP settings from menu.
- Automatic turn off/on wifi adapter.
- Create new profile based on existing profile.
Known Issues:
- On some devices You must first turn on wifi "manually" from connection manager after soft reset (device driver is not loaded/activated). But process of applying profile still works correctly - only wifi is not turned on from WiFi Profiles application. Will be handled in new releases.
Planned Features:
- Outlook SMTP server switching.
- Location triggered switching.
- Today plugin.
- Finger friendly profile selection. Better UI for IP address, data validation. Progress info when applying profile.
Installation:
- Download CAB (WifiProfilesInstall.CAB).
- Copy WifiProfilesInstall.CAB to Your device.
- Run WifiProfilesInstall.CAB.

i was trying out the broswer via my home wifi. Haf way thru, i noted that my GPRS was also running concurrently with my wifi connection. is there ny way to diable GPRS totally as it will incurred charges.
I have disabled the auto detection of GPRS in the advance config.
Start> Settings> Connections tab>Connections> Advanced tab> Select Networks> Change both options to "My Work Network"
Thanks. Had done the above.
or you can use BandSwitch monitor... to prevent also unwanted data connection
Or you can install the "No Data" app.
the latest version of Advanced Configuration does what NoData does (disabling GPRS)
