Hi!
I've tended to like the Intel utility that is part of
its wifi reference drivers. I find it clearer and
easier to understand than the Windows Zero
Configuration Utility.
Oh, don't get me wrong...I do *like* the Intel utility pretty well.
And I'd certainly pick it over the Windows utilities any day. It's
just that I always find some minor thing going on with it--one version
I used had the tendency to claim that another program was configuring
the wireless adapter and that ProSet Wireless tools would have to be
enabled (really? on Windows 2000 where no built in wireless support
exists?) and the current one sometimes needs a little "help" to scan
for and find my wireless connection. For whatever reason it sometimes
stops at "wireless signals found" and doesn't go on to automatically
connect like it usually does.
It could just be the way things go here. That kind of "phase of the
moon" weirdness sometimes shows up with some of my hardware.
But like I said, these are all very minor things. Otherwise I like the
utility.
William
