[Dibbler] Dibbler under Windows and WPA2 Wireless

Hi folks,

new to this list, apologies if the issue is known already.

I have a wireless network with native IPv6 uplink and autoconfig, so I use 
Dibbler only to propagate the IPv6 nameserver. There appears to be a timing 
problem (at least for the Windows XP port of 0.4.1): when Dibbler is started 
as a system service and the interface is a wireless WPA2 protected network, 
Dibbler will try too early to bind to the interface (after the card 
associated to the Access Point, but before WPA2 authentication completed) and 
will die a horrible death because the interface isn't up yet. How about: 
don't die, instead try every few seconds to bind to the interface...

Greetings,

Stefan Winter

P.S.: You may have seen that I write from Luxembourg - you may want to update
