To be clear, by "fingerprinting" you mean responding to a user request to remember a network which the machine is currently accessing by choosing the appropriate network attributes and recording them in a new environment, right? If so, it seems to me that though a maximally usable algorithm could indeed be difficult, a simple one (record everything) is always available. But this will become clearer as you proceed, and can be enchanced later, so I'm fine with leaving it to-be- determined for now. > To solve conflicts of multiple environment matches (which we think will > be on the more rare side), we'll ask the user at runtime to resolve it. > (e.g. "Which environment would you like to make active? > [listbox of all matching environments]" > ) > > Michael, let me know if i misinterpreted, and David, would like to know > what you think. Thanks, Sounds good. David
