I have an IBM Thinkpad A22p (with Win2k) onto which I
installed an Orinoco silver wireless card.  Worked great.
I upgraded the machine to Windows XP.  Now it still has a
wireless connection, and the Orinoco Client Manager in
the system tray still shows signal strength, etc.

But there is a problem -- of sorts.  Under Control Panel,
Network Connections, it shows the wireless connection,
but says it is "unavailable".  Why is this?  There is
clearly a wireless connection, not just available, but
working well!  But *that* wireless connection is only
apparent in the Orinoco (Lucent) system tray software,
not in XP native.  What is the disconnect, and how can
I resolve it?

Thanks,


/da
