free wireless connection manager software?
Is there free software like Intel Pro Wireless or whatever to manage wireless connections? This is for an old PC (Toshiba Tecra 9000) that is not centrino (if that makes any difference?).
Thanks.
Thanks.

Try the free T-Mobile connection manager. I've used it for a while and it's OK:

I recommend configuring your PDA for a normal unsecured wifi access point with SSID = "tmobile". That's all I do on my laptop. I have not tried this with my old PocketPC or Palm devices yet.
