From XP release notes: ORiNOCO wireless LAN card Products: Windows XP Home Edition, Windows XP Professional only Installing the utilities from the ORiNOCO Wireless LAN card CD causes the Windows XP Wireless Configuration Service to run incorrectly. The utilities interfere with the control of the card. The wireless configuration tab in the network properties does not display and the card does not configure automatically. To resolve this problem, follow these steps: 1.. Remove ORiNOCO Utilities through Add or Remove Programs in Control Panel. 2.. Uninstall the ORiNOCO card using Device Manager. To open Device Manager, click Start, and then click Control Panel. Click Performance and Maintenance, and then click System. On the Hardware tab, click Device Manager. 3.. Reinstall the drivers to redetect the card through Scan for hardware changes in Device Manager or by restarting Windows XP. -- Please reply to the following e-mail address: RBoris@msn.com "Donkey Agony" <nobody@foo.invalid> wrote in message news:W0Gw7.133591$Xz1.18466902@news1.rdc1.md.home.com... > I have an IBM Thinkpad A22p (with Win2k) onto which I > installed an Orinoco silver wireless card.
