I just installed a Proxim 802.11b/g combo card on my laptop running XP Pro
(with the WPA patch) and in the "Network Connections" window I find an
entry
Internet Gateway
Local Area Connection on Linux IGD Type: Internet Gateway
If I look at its "Status", I see the sent & received packet count for "My
Computer" steadily incrementing, but no change under the "Internet Gatway"
icon.
No connections show up on "netstat" and Ethereal shows no packets flowing
in or out on any interface.
If I try to disable it, I get an error dialog that says "It is not
possible to disconnect at this time. The connection is currently busy with
a connect or disconnect operation".
If I disable the Wireless interface, this "IGD" thing disappears, and
then reappears when I enable the interface. It shows up each time I
reboot.
Everything ->seems to work OK, but I'd really like to know what this thing
is.
