Belkin Wireless and XP

Anyone else have problems with a Belkin Wireless hardware and XP? With W98 I
had no problems with connection and signal quality. After upgrading to XP
Pro, and downloading the latest driver for the card, I get poor signal
quality and regular dropped connections. Do I need to upgrade the Access
Point driver too? I've turned off the XP zero configuration utility.
Thanks

how do you turn of the zero configuration utility. is that the check
box "let windows handle my wireless network" or do I need to do
something more.
thanks

I also upgraded firmware for a Belkin router which fixed intermitency
problems on a Centrino based XP home laptop. zero config remains auto start.
