Troubleshooting SP 2 #5

If you use the new SP2 Wireless Networking Wizard, under some circumstances you might not get a wireless connection, even though your access point is working.

Those affected are often notebook users who can turn off the wireless adapter on their machine with a switch or via a function key. Even if the adapter is turned off,Windows will still look for a wireless network and simply report that there is no network in range. XP doesn’t tell you that the adapter is powered off. One of the only ways to tell is by looking at the wireless adapter’s power LED to check its status. Alternatively, many of the manufacturers’ own control programs will warn you when the radio is deactivated.
