Yes there is. LAN0 is one interface, and LAN1 is another. From what I've 
scanned in this thread, LAN0 is your wired interface (which has nothing 
to do with wlanstat) and LAN1 is your wireless interface. You have to 
tell wlanstat to use LAN1.

Let's be sure: only one interface may be configured for DHCP AND be 
active. The scripts everyone is discussing specifically turn OFF the 
active DHCP-configured interface and activate the other interface (which 
then becomes the only ACTIVE interface running the DHCP client).

NO YOU DON'T. WLANSTAT ***IS*** Christian's app - the standalone version.

No, you need to either use one of the scripts provided here OR use 
wlanstat. The choice is yours. You just can't do it with the TCP/IP 
configuration notebook. You may indeed have LAN0, LAN1, LAN2, LAN3, 
LAN4...LAN7 - yes, that's eight adapters! - all configured for different 
network cards (many of us testing and developing have several NIC 
drivers loaded and bound at boot time). You just need to temporarily 
disable DHCP on all but the one which needs to get a dynamic address 
and/or any conflicting network bindings (but let's not get into that 
yet, shall we?).
