Re: USB Wireless Client Adapter and Domain Login

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

The problem is the drivers and the order in which they load - maybe someone
who has taken notes will know which ones load as a service (before logon)
and which ones load as a program (after logon).

One thing I would try - no guarantees but it might work - would be to
disable or uninstall the utility that came with the USB NIC to configure it
and instead use Windows XP's WZC (Wireless Zero Configuration) service to
configure the network. It might not kick in on THIS login, but perhaps on
the NEXT login after a reboot it might start the network before login.
