Hello Jouni,<br><br>Actually, I was able to run the 4.9 binary in parallel with the WZC. There might have sometimes been a slowness to connect but not sure. I did not, however, see the WZC causing a disconnect???<br><br>
The primary reason for wanting WZC to run concurrently is for its UI the "Wireless Network Connections" window for its ability to display the detected APs.<br><br><br>thanks so much (and I have 2 other questions for you today -I'll open new threads for them; they aren't related to WZC),
