It's pretty clear that firewalls are a big problem to home networks in
Windows XP (I have two XP SP2 computers that see each other just fine, as
long as both have their firewalls disabled). Testing leads me to conclude
it's not the fault of the wireless access drivers. The question is, is a
correction anywhere at hand?

Hi

If the Wireless is working while Firewall is off, Leave it Alone.

Wireless is just a replacement to wire, and it is not related to the
Firewall.

If the Firewall is not configured correctly or the TCP/IP part of the
Network is already partially trashed the Firewall interfere with LAN's
TCP/IP traffic.

May be this can Help: http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html
