subject: Re: MS wireless behavior by design?

From: "Frank Haber" 

I see Rich has set you straight on the reflash.  On the reconnect, and the
re-ID-ing of existing APs whenever the weather or your underwear changes -
well, that's just MS helping you again with the notorious WZC.  I hear
it'll get better in XP SP2, but the question of mandatory SIDs is still up
in the air, I think.  Some people actually run full driver stacks in XP
instead of bothering with the builtin MS stuff.  I'm not even sure how to
do that.  All my roaming/wireless machines are 98 or 2000, so I haven't had
to learn.

And I hate USB for anything that doesn't have to be USB.  The wired Ether
card driver arrangement is one of the best things about NT.  It's
low-overhead, crisp and reliable.  If you can run a wire, why lay yourself
open to grief?
