    Hi all,

    Another question about my new SZ460. One of the first things I did with it was to set up my wireless connection. I clicked on the wireless icon in the taskbar (not smartwi), and chose the "Connect to Available Networks" option, and set up my connection.

    Since I've done that, it connects just fine. However, according to SmartWi, my WLAN status is "Disconnected". This doesn't seem right to me. It isn't causing any problems per se, but I would like to get it working so that SmartWi shows my status properly.

    Sometimes I am able to get the SmartWi gadget to finally update its status after I click on the gadget and then "SmartWi" settings", but it isn't always consistent.

    Anyone have any ideas/suggestions?
