[I have Windows XP Home SP3.]
I recently installed a wireless router. I didn't remove the old network card (that formerly connected to my cable modem with an ethernet cable), because I'll need a wired connection for firmware updates.
Is it okay to 'disable' the old network card in Device Manager or should I leave it 'enabled'? It's currently enabled, and there is an icon in the system tray telling me "a network cable is unplugged." No kidding? ;-)
If I disable the old network card, the icon goes away, but then Device Manager puts a big red 'X' on the entry for the network card.
Thanks for your advice.
