Windows 2000 and Wireless PCI NIC

Hello,

Sorry if these seems like a silly question.

We are having to start using some wireless network PCI cards in some of our
Windows 2000 PC's.

We have tried a DLink DWL520+ which works fine except that the machine is
only connected to the network after logon when the DLink software had
loaded.

I understand that XP is different and has support for wireless, but until we
upgrade to XP, I need my 2k machine on the network pre logon.

Thanks in advance

Jeff

In recent thread "Automating WPA-PSK installation on domain PCs"
was suggested www.lucidlink.com software
Maybe it will work for you.

Thanks - would this mean the a windows 2000 PC with a wireless PCI NIC would
pickup a network connection pre logon?

Thanks
