What I was refering to was the ability for NS to be able to scan with more than 1 card in the laptop at a time without having to open multiple windows of NS. I believe that NS only uses 1 card if you select "Use any suitable device" it only uses 1 device (It has been a long time since I have examined this behavior). It would be nice to have 1 card scanning the 802.11a channels, while the other is scanning the "B" channels.

OUI has nothing to do with skins.

Also having the ability to select different channels, you can detect a lot more APs by scanning the frequently used frequencies (1,6,11).

The main problem I was having was that GPSDrive only converts Garmin binary to NMEA. Mapsource only uses Garmin Binary (Depending on which version you use), eventhough they claim to support NMEA. The result of this is that I am unable to use both NS and Mapsource at the same time. If NS could spit out data onto another virtual com port, it would be very useful to a few people who would like to run mapping software while running NS.

Quite often, NS leaves Wireless Zero Config disabled when you exit if you had it enabled before you started NS and used autoconfigure. Also, having WZC enabled appears to have problems when you start NS. A button to disable/enable the WZC service would be easy to add and I think it would be very useful.

I never thought of a option to disable TCP/IP. Good idea, I will add it to my list on the first page.

Hope this helps clear things up.
