*Nevermind* Two networks and specs...

Any suggestions on this:

I want to be able to access my school's 802.11b network using the default Intel Pro/Wireless-B antanna in my latop, and I want be able to access my home Wifi network, D-Link XtremeG DI-624 802.11e 108Mbps, using a cardbus D-Link DWL-G650 antenna (great deal on both at Buy.com). On the same Win XP Pro computer.

What's the shortcut, aside from manually disabling the Intel antenna whenever I'm at home, and removing the D-Link card whenever I'm at school (evening law school and I live off campus)?

Any suggestions? Can this be done?

EDIT: See my last 2 posts at the bottom for more info on why I need to use the Intel card at all.
 
Thanks for updating. I was a little confused after the first version!

However, that procedure is linked to the TCP/IP Configuration of an individual network adapter, allowing me to connect to either network with the same adapter (in this case, it would have to be the Intel Pro/Wireless card), which I already knew how to do. That doesn't really get me any closer to being able to log onto different networks using different cards, a specific card for a specific network.

I do appreciate you help. Any other suggestions?
 
The school WAN is LEAP, not sure what server protocol. The home LAN is DHCP and WPA. I have to use the Intel card at school, as the D-Link card is not LEAP compatible (guess I should have mentioned that in the first place, huh). There is no single solution out there that will work for me to get max performance from both networks.
 
Okay, but what's the easiest way of doing that, so that I don't actually have to manually disable the Intel card whenever I'm at home?
 
This is a moot issue. The laptop shipped with XP Home, not Pro -- even though I'm pretty sure I specified Pro to the dude on the phone. And I'm certain that Home won't give me the control over the user accounts or hardware profiles to do this. So until I ugrade, I'm stuck anyway. Thanks for the input.
