Mike-

 

In the comments, someone pointed this out: 

 

http://www.cnet.com.au/intel-s-my-wi-fi-makes-my-internet-yours-33929433
5.htm
<http://www.cnet.com.au/intel-s-my-wi-fi-makes-my-internet-yours-3392943
35.htm>  (My Wifi from Intel), 

 

and someone else commented "FINALLY I can play my Nintendo DS online
without screwing the rest of my network by turning off WPA."

 

Will be interesting to see what scale this sort of thing gets used, how
hard it is for the average joe to understand, and what it means or
doesn't mean to those of us trying to keep peace in WLANvilleJ

http://www.engadget.com/2009/05/18/microsofts-virtual-wifi-will-make-win
dows-7-wireless-adapters-d/

 

Quote from the article:"The tech lets one piece of WiFi hardware be
represented in Windows as two separate adapters, meaning you can connect
to two hotspots simultaneously if you like, or turn your virtual device
into an access point that others can connect to."

 

This should make the airwaves interesting..
