set network location tethering

Since I have upgraded to iOS 5, now everytime I tether my iPhone I get the 'set network location' dialog on my win7 laptop. With the new iOS win7 does not appear to 'remember' my iphone as a network location.


I am quite certain this is new with iOS 5 since I am a frequent tethering user and I have seen this same issue on a couple forums as I search around.


Anyone have a solution? Is this a know issue with iOS 5 that we might see fixed in update soon?


Thanks

iPhone 4, Windows 7

Update:

Over in this other thread in this forum:

I have found out a fair amount of information about why this is happening. I also have just posted a sort-of workaround for this. The workaround does resolve the problem, but introduces a very unpleasant side effect that's worse (in my opinion) that the original problem, so it isn't a good solution.


If you are following this thread, you might wish to go over to the other thread though (above) to read what I learned about this and decide for yourself if you want to try the workaround.


Thanks.
