   This is exactly what I described.  It disables the adapter.  Enable =
it to reverse.  Nothing else needs to be done to enable it.  You claimed =
you had to enable the radio elsewhere.  That sounds like a device =
specific problem.  I have never had to do this with any wireless = adapter.

       What are you whining about?  Windows doesn't have a checkbox for =

adapter which is the right thing to do on many laptops.  It's = what I did
until I got a laptop with a switch on the case to disable the = radio. 
Enabling the adapter turned everything back on.  Even on the = laptop with

      and it has spent every day since then slowly changing things back =
when you
      aren't looking...

      Latest change I found, if you go into my network places properties =
and
      disable wireless on a laptop, when you re-enable it the hardware =
is turned
      off, what the heck is that all about? On W2K I can just =
enable/disable at
      will and one undoes the other but with XP to enable it again I =
have to first
      enable then go find the stupid hardware setting and change the =
radio back to
      ON..
