Thanks, Joe Intel,
That is not good, that Microsoft made Win8 less functional than previous versions, not being able to connect automatically to an adhoc network, nor remember the password. Is that a bug, or did Microsoft do it on purpose?
Yes, I hae the Intel wireless software installed. (It looks like it has its own "wireless zero" service to replace the one in Windows, and some other background services running.) So far I haven't seen any advantage to it, and don't see that I got any benefit by configuring my computer with this "advanced" adapter rather than a more plain one.
So, I guess that the Intel software has not been saving the adhoc password either. Or is there some setting I can change to make it do that? (I am definitely running that Intel Proset software though.
Thank you.
