Thank you, Max, for sharing your expertise... So, you are saying, the decision on whether to notify the host of a particular bit of traffic the dongle "hears" is controlled by the hard-coded logic on the dongle itself -- and can not be reprogrammed by the host? Sad... Maybe, I will have to "broadcast" something in order to register responses. -mi
