It is a system services that       makes USE of the WiFi transceiver; assuming that you're not using it via       USB (on an iPhone at least).              "h. nearby shares" aren't transceivers on your device.              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
