On a thinkpad T30 Windows 2000 allows me to enable/disable/enable with =
just that one change. On a T42 with XP, when I try to enable, I have to =
go further into properties and enable the radio as well as the adaptor. =
On the same T42 with W2K it works like the T30.

     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 =

wireless 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 =

        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..
