Network Status from Windows Tray Icon inconsistent in Windows XP 57
Network Status from Windows Tray Icon incon-
sistent in Windows XP
In Windows XP, if the Zero Configuration Utility is enabled and the Marvell Configuration Utili-
ty is running, the network status displayed is inconsistent with the actual network status. For
example, if associated successfully to a network using the Marvell Configuration Utility, the
utility shows the network status as “Connected”. However, when clicking the Windows Wire-
less Network tray icon or the Network Connections icon, the network status will be reported
as “Wireless Connection Unavailable”.
If the Zero Configuration Utility is enabled, Windows cannot determine that the connection
has been established through the Marvell Configuration Utility. To avoid this inconsistency,
the Zero Configuration Utility should be disabled when using the Marvell Configuration Utility.
After the Zero Configuration Utility has been disabled, the network status displayed will again
be consistent with the actual status.
As long as the Marvell Configuration Utility is running, all association requests from the Zero
Configuration Utility are blocked to avoid conflicts. To use the Zero Configuration Utility in-
stead of the Marvell Configuration Utility, terminate the Marvell Configuration Utility.
