Windows XP Wireless in 2000?

[jim2029]

Has anyone ever tried to rip the wireless control program from XP and use it in 2000? It would be nice if you use more than 1 wireless card... so you don't need to install the control program for each card.

Not exectly the answer to you question but I found a good program - Wireless Network Ignition from SingleClick Systems. It has it's own wireless protocol driver and is a universal front end for ANY wireless card. The interface is simple and clear. The program is very small comparing with most todays heavy loaded monsters. Works perfect on Windows 2000

I knew I had seen something like this a while back for Windows 2000, and I was looking for it again when I had tried using 2000 last month, but I just decided to go back to XP..

I used the McAfee Wireless Security program with Win2K. It's free and works with most wireless cards. I used it on a laptop, and two different desktop PCI cards. One older A/B card did not support WPA with the vendor's utility but with McAfee it worked fine.

Just remembered one more universal program - Boingo (look in download section).

It's free but not very light
