wirless card unable to contact device driver

My card worked fine before, but after installing SP2 or some hotfixes, I'm
getting an error from the wireless card driver that says "Unable to
communicate with device driver." I have a built-in wireless card from
Actiontec Electronics, Inc.

I've tried:
- updating the driver and it didn't find any
- gone thru the troubleshooting website for wireless networks connections in
WinXP SP2

Any suggestions?

You may have a problem with Windows WAP controlling feature and the network
card's software. MaximumPC has a special edition magazine out which has
several helpful hints to fix this. Check on www.maximumpc.com.
