Scott, yes, I can show the wireless adapter utility icon in the systray,
but, it isn't the xp networking icon that was there before. Also, the
adapter systray icon isn't persistent; that is, when I reboot, I have to go,
open up the properties for this, and then it shows up again. Pain. Plus, it
just isn't as cool as the other systray icon.

Also, when I open up My Network Places... it's completely empty, but, I am
connected to my wireless network and everything is operating properly.
