go to whatever the moral equivalent of 

Start->Settings->ControlPanel->System->DeviceManager

in WinXP and select the wifi card driver and then *right click* on it and 
see if you get any menus or tabcontrols and if you do, poke about in there 
a bit.

you might also try ipconfig in a dos shell....does xp have a dos shell? 
bet it dont...stupid thing. i am so grateful i bought Win98/SE just before 
ME came out.....

hell. i'd go back to NT4 as my 'other OS' on my laptop if i could get 
CardBus support...

but M$FT has consumed enuf Head-Cycles from me for one day....
