My 4 yr old samsung laptop runs XP Pro ( v5.1.2 SP2 Build 2600) and has an Intel PROset 2100 3B wireless chip/module/thingy built-in with 802.11b but only WEP. The driver version is 1.1.5.0
Having just installed a wireless network in the house and hearing that WEP is useless, I downloaded the later device drivers etc from Intel hoping for better security WPA etc.
Right clicking on the wireless icon gives me a choice of using XP to control the wireless LAN or Intel to control the LAN. WPA higher security is only available when I click on the Intel option. This crashes the laptop.
I have tried to "roll back" the driver to the original version to avoid the crashing (settle for WEP) but it now tells me there isn't a driver to roll back to. Any suggestions what to do next?
