I have been using it in preference to the manufacturer utilities because
there were too many incompatibilites, probably due to Microsoft changing
the rules, but I can't fight that battle, so I use WZC.
(I was just looking at a Bluetooth device that still has necessary
workarounds posted on its web site for WinXP-SP2, and talks about how this
might change with the RTM version... Isn't that a couple of years old,
already?)

If I turn off WZC, I can set an IP address, or DHCP, in the TCP/IP
properties just like I would for any other NIC.
But where do I enter a WEP key? Where are other tunables?
How does this impact roaming? Does it associate with any open WAP?
