Patent ID: 7194263

Claim:
A computer readable medium having computer-executable instructions for performing steps for a wireless device to participate in first and second wireless networks that are disjoint and having overlapping transmission ranges over a common frequency channel, comprising: exposing a first virtual network adapter associated with a first operation mode for communicating with the first wireless network and a second virtual network adapter associated with a second operation mode for communicating with the second wireless network; providing a first queue for queuing packets for communications in the first operation mode and a second queue for queuing packets for communications in the second operation mode; in response to a first instruction to switch to the first operation mode, enabling the first virtual network adapter and transmitting queued packets in the first queue to the first wireless network; and in response to a second instruction to switch to the second operation mode, enabling the second virtual network adapter and transmitting queued packets in the second queue to the second wireless network.
