[vpn-help] 2.2 b1 miniport adapter

[zkosn at zkosn.com]

I'm only using infrastructure networks, however I have used ad-hocs in
the past.  

If I disable the Virtual Miniport adapter, either the entire adapter or
just the shrewsoft filter component, 2.2.0 will then immediately connect
fine.     I can even re-enable the Miniport adapter/filter and still I'm
able to connect. 

However, if I reboot and the Virtual Miniport adapter is enabled, it
cannot connect again until I disable it again.

If I leave it disabled, all is good.

Thanks!

Hmmm. It should be the other way around unless you are communicating 
over an AD-Hoc Wifi network. The 2.2.0 version favors the base Wifi 
adapter but doesn't work the MS Virtual Adapter used for AD-Hoc Wifi.
