i just installed xp sp2 on my laptop, and my wireless won't connect at all now. ive tried retyping the wep key, disabling wep, turning broadcasting on, etc. my router is wide open and anyone in range can connect to it, except me!

its been working great for MONTHS with sp1, and died instantly when i rebooted after installing sp2..

does anyone have any ideas? ive also disabled the firewall in sp2 as well ......

Can't connect at all? i.e. doesn't obtain an IP address from the router...
Can't connect to internet?
Can't connect to other PC's?

SP2 isn't final... end of discussion...

Edit:
who knows there might be a flaw there... looks like you are gonna have to go back to SP1...
