You didn't start it, David.  It's an on-going discussion and has been
for years (maybe not on _this_ list, but it never goes away).

Well done!

That's what backups are for. ;-)

And you can probably get your wireless card working, too, by using the
ndiswrapper driver and the .sys and .inf files for your card in XP.  I'm
running my Fujitsu C2220 with a Broadcom 802.11g card in it that way.
Works fine.  If you need help, email me directly (unless others are
interested in how this works).
