Listen, don't worry about it, all in it'll be quicker to reinstall XP

All in all I'd say save for a Mac with OS X on it, they just work you know

Can't, if I'm taking out a mortgage it'll be for a house

Honestly, use Ndiswrapper.

Go to the bit where you install programs (forgot its name

) and go to System. Click "Use Windows wifi drivers" or whatever it is.

Install that, use Windows XP drivers and enjoy great wifi.

Simple as that.

Too late, reinstalled XP

And I'm about to try my new VM mobile 'band stick soon, so it won't really make much difference about the Wi-fi if that works (I never let myself sit at the netbook for too long, so no real downloading etc)
