    Nice simple UI. However version 2.0 has certain limitations:
    1.) SSID name is fixed to 'BlueGate HotSpot'
    2.) Hotspot stops after 1 hour (3.600.000 ms) showing the following nag:
    BlueGate HotSpot Evaluation

            'Hello! Thanks for trying out BlueGate HotSpot.
    
            This is an evaluation version, and we encourage you to purchase this software for continued use.
    

    3.) The clients tab part only work on systems whose language is English.
    Background: StatusVirtualRouter() uses the command line tool 'netsh'
    for ex:

    netsh wlan show hostednetwork | find "Status" or
    and don't come along with output in other langages.
    @Kelvin why you are not continuing using 'wlanapi' as you already did, and do 'smud' code like this?
    All the definition stuff is already there 'hotspot.py' just use 'wlanapi.WlanHostedNetworkQueryProperty' and kick of that cracky wacky 'netsh' implementation.

    I just fixed this made it open source and uploaded it here:
    https://sourceforge.net/projects/bluegatehotspot-remake/

    4.) for that ICS on/off you just borrowed VirtualRouter.ICS.dll from
    http://virtualrouter.codeplex.com
    which is also some nice and easy GUI. You should give some credits to it.
    (^ Well the only bad thing about it - it's written in Dot Net)
    ... and ya beside that I guess for getting all network adapter you don't need WMI. Wlanapi can also do that.

    I will resume working on Source Forge again very soon. Thanks for the comment. Actually i was still experimenting with python. A new improved version and bug fix of this software will be released soon. I have a firewall & a captive portal software in the works. Cheers
