    This looks damn useful. Apparently it uses an unfinished feature of Windows 7:

    "A year ago, Microsoft talked a lot about this as a big feature in Windows 7," said Alex Gizis, the CEO of Nomadio. "But driver support didn't get finished. The low-level code is in there, but the driver-level stuff isn't. And there's no app or setting in Windows to turn it on."

    Explaining that the feature was "half there" in Windows 7, Gizis said his company realized "we have the rest of the software here, in our networking work."

    I'm going to experiment on my Win7 laptop and report back.

    Bugger. It appears to work, but my old Windows Mobile 5 phone doesn't recognise WPA2 encryption. I've emailed their support for advice.
