I don't use Location manager. I always have my TCP/IP set to DHCP. My
home and office wireless networks are different. So, I always have to
re-select the network and enter the password. AirPort 1.1 resets my
TCP/IP stack. I never touch the TCP/IP configuration. AP 1.2 does
not. This is with MacOS 8.6 and OT 2.0.3.
However, with my MacOS 9 machine (OT 2.6.1), AP 1.2 resets the TCP/IP
stack. This, again, is without touching the TCP/IP configuration.
Go figure. Maybe not the way it is supposed to work. But, that's the
way it works for me. Believe me, I have messed with it enough.
