  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 =

first
  enable then go find the stupid hardware setting and change the radio =
back to
  ON..
