Can't see AP after SP2 install.

    I have a laptop with a mini pci wifi card (802.11b, generic dell model) and since applying XP SP2 to the laptop I can no longer see any wifi devices with the laptop.

    I have an Airway Transport AP and have tested a second laptop (without SP2) which works fine, but with my main laptop i can't see either the AP or the other wifi laptop at all.

    i double checked and the radio is on, i even disabled and re-enabled it to be sure.

    I turned off the new firewall thingy, and zonealarm but it's still not picking it up, even when it's only a few inches away from the AP.

    I can even pick up one of my neighbours AP's with the other laptop from the same location, but I can't see it with the problem laptop at all.

    has anyone else had any problems since installing SP2?

    I'm going to try and re-install the software and try again, but i just wanted to check to see if anyone knew of any issues with it.

    thanks.

    I have a Thinkpad T40p laptop and Wi-Fi stopped working after applying SP2.
    I finally found out that the problem was caused by an incompatability between SP2 and IBM's wireless connection manager -> After uninstalling the soft everything went back to normal.

    So my advice would be to try to uninstall everything related to Wi-Fi and not absolutely needed for you wireless card to work.

    I had one or two device problems after installing SP2 ... not wireless ... but just reinstalling the device drivers worked.
