using the wireless adapter's manufacturer's own configuration
management tools?

I want to set up a guest account on my XP laptop for a visitor to use, but I

Ok, let me start by saying I've done all the normal things.  I've changed the
channel, I've used Netstumbler (I'm the only network which isn't suprising

days, so I doubt they are the problem), I've tried ...

I'd like to know if there is a way to tell some application to use the

My PC has both cards and I'd like to have most software use the

My wireless network on my XP was slow.   So I removed all the network driver

I have two buildings that are connected to each other via fiber.  In
building 1 I have a wireless router.  In the second building I want to
