PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a zero configuration nomadic wireless and wired computing environment. SOLUTION: The system examines predefined user preferences or profile settings (Step 268), to determine to which of competing number of wireless networks available it should connect, and what type of authentication should be used for such a connection (step 274). In automatic mode, the user may set a preference for infrastructure (step 288) or and hoc modes (step 280); and in infrastructure mode preference set, if the user has previously operated off-line or in ad hoc mode (step 288), the system will automatically detect and transfer connectivity to a newly available infrastructure wireless network (steps 292-294-266).
