I've a neighbor with an older DELL Inspiron laptop with an Orinoco Gold
card in it.
He also has a current BOINGO client loaded.
At home, he connects to an Apple Airport in the next room. On some, but not
all reboots, this machine seems to completely lose track of the WEP key--or
maybe it just forgets about the connection completely--I'm not sure how to
distinguish.
I'm also not sure whether he's on SP2 or not. He may not be, because of
issues at work--this is basically a work machine which also comes home.
Any thoughts? He views this as an annoyance he can live with. I suspect,
for him, this just reinforces the view that Windows is a huge kludge, unlike
the Macs the rest of his family use.
I view it as a bug, which I'd like to get fixed.
