Hmm, that's a strange one.  Maybe uninstalling the card and the orinoco
software completely, then rebooting, then reinstalling the card and software
will fix the problem.  That would probably be my next course of action
because I know it would frustrate me if it was doing that on my machine, but
if you don't mind it, you could probably leave it since everything seems to
be working fine.  I'm sure it's just some kind of glitch from upgrading to
XP.
