I have an old laptop which has wireless capability but is not compatible with my BT Home Hub, ie it needs WPA not WEP. My question is, if I buy a USB wireless adaptor, will it override the integral wireless card(?) or will the integral card need to be disabled? If the latter, how is this done?
The laptop has XP and the advice on the Wireless Connection wizard is to download Service Pack 2 which should alleviate the problem but, apart from the fact that I would have the hassle of setting up a dial up connection in order to download this, I seem to remember that when I downloaded it before, the laptop crashed and it took me ages to restore it to its previous state. I subsequently replaced it with my current laptop.
I would be grateful for some help from those who understand these things
