Rick,
Yes, there is an updated driver (July 2004) for using MS wireless devices with XP2. I have the MN-700 and MN-710 and they work with XP2. http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/broadbandnetworking/10_DLoadMain.mspx
>From the readme file: http://www.microsoft.com/hardware/broadbandnetworking/readme/0704_readme.htm
"This release includes:
a.. <snip>
b.. Added compatibility for Microsoft Windows XP SP2
c.. <snip>
This release includes the following updated components:
a.. Setup Wizard (2.2.0.731)
b.. Broadband Network Utility (2.2.0.731)
c.. Microsoft Wireless Base Station (MN-700) firmware (2.1.2.590)
d.. Microsoft Wireless USB Adapter (MN-510) driver (3.1.3.31)
e.. Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter (MN-520) driver (3.1.3.31)
f.. Microsoft Wireless Notebook Adapter (MN-720) driver (3.60.7.0)
g.. Microsoft Wireless PCI Adapter (MN-730) driver (3.60.7.0)"
Did you look for any new drivers for all your hardware before running the SP2 installation? It always pays off to do this and to check any utilities support websites as well.
