I'm surprised there isn't more discussion of this program on the board. It seems like it does everything the WIFIers would want it to.
Just tried this out yesterday and I have to say that it's a great program. Just driving around, I was picking up and connecting to multiple signals. I just tried it out so I'm going to read more about it and the features. It would be great to be able to have a touchscreen friendly version.
How easy would that be?

I would like to have more automation (expecially controlling it from "outside".. like your frontend.. to autoconnect, etc.), it is a great program, i bought GPSGate too just to use it while i use a navigator software (share the coords, for hotspot tracking) ..i return at home everyday with dozen of hotspots and great surprises (read: 80% of em without any encryption).
What do you mean by this? It does autoconnect. Just embed it in your front end and you're done.
It is already embeded, what i mean with autoconnect is that WiFi hopper has som "lacks" in the hopping/scan procedure. It seems to work fine only in "scan mode" ...in that mode it scans for the networks and logs correctly, then it autoconnect to any available network marked as "preferred" (you have to register it before...); in the other 2 modes it seems to not works: in hopping mode the scan seems to not work correctly... the only wai to automatize everything is to leave the Windows Zero Configuration enabled and the hopping in the "scan mode", in this way it scans for a network, but the Windows ZC manage the connection to any available network, but this cause serious troubles to my system: CPU usage coz it is costantly search for a network to connect to.
What i see is: if i want to connect (with ZC disable) is that i've to manually double click on an available wifi connection, *IF* it is not stored in the preferred ones (eg: it autoconnects to my homelan.. but in the city i must select a connection manually from the list).
Has anyone else seen this problem? I haven't really noticed it. I only installed it last week and it seems to work fine. I'm usually moving at a good rate of speed, 40 +, and I see that WinHopper is trying to connect to various wifi spots. If I sit still long enough it will connect to a network that does not have an security. I don't have to set any networks to preffered or anything like that.
Could it have something to do with you hardware? What hardware are you using.
I hope I understood your question.

I don't have Arctic's problem either. It works perfectly for me. I'm thinking that Arctic's problem may be that he doesn't have a computer that can keep up.
Anybody else having hibernation problems? If I hibernate while the proggy is running everything is locked up when I resume.
I'm using EPIA and a 3com PCI card. The PC is setup properly, i just have to click on the "in range" connection to autoconnect, but it autoconnects to my own LAN... if it works for you, are you sure you have windows zero configuration service turned off (manually) and not just turned off via WiFi Hopper configuration (there's a option)? Coz it works for me too if i leave it on... but as i said i had to disable it for other reasons.
Me, but only when the GPS port is open (GPS connected), WiFi Hopper get stuck for a minute or so after resume for hybernation, then it starts to work itself (i guess it has something to do with the com port).
