Wireless problem after installing SP3

[Paul]

Hi
After installing SP3 onto an Acer Aspire 1360 (XP Home SP2) it will no
longer connect to my wireless network. It simply sits there trying to
acquire an IP address but doesn't succeed. It also says the signal
strength is low where it is usually excellent and is trying to connect at
1Mbps. Trying to find networks in range results in the claim there are no
networks in range. Uninstalling SP3 restores normality. The wireless
router is a Belkin with hardware version F5D7231-4 2000. Any ideas?

After installing SP3 did you try deleting the wireless connection and
creating a new one.?? Inputting your security settings again.

Hi!

Yes, I did notice some other problem on this same topic and found this
explanation/solution for it

i.e you may have to check a driver set update from your WLAN card
manufacturer.

Hi Pete
Thanks for the reply. Yes a new driver is what I need - unfortunately I
have the last driver ever written before the manufacturer got taken over -
I've got a replacement card to put in when I get time

Hi Neil
Thanks for the reply - tried all that and decided I needed a new driver -
can't get one as I already have the last one written (manufacturer got
taken over) so am puttin in a new card.
