I have managed to get you the microsoft url, anyway here what they say
on that page:

"Working Around Problems with Service Pack 2
Some users in the Windows XP Wireless Networking newsgroup report
wireless networking issues after upgrading to SP2. If you haven't
installed SP2 yet, you should check your wireless card vendor's Web
site for driver updates now, before you install SP2.

If you've already installed SP2 and have wireless networking issues,
connect to a wired network and see if there is a driver update
available. If there's no update and you must use your wireless card,
one option is to uninstall SP2 until there is a new driver for your
wireless network card. You must weigh your need for the wireless
capability against the added security you lose without SP2. Before you
choose to uninstall SP2, read Knowledge Base article 878454, How to
help protect your computer if you decide to remove Windows XP Service
Pack 2."
