Oh yeah, it fixed it.
I have a Laptop running XP Pro, with onboard LAN and a Netgear MA521 PC
Card.
Somehow while running SP1, the ability to control the wireless networks
(and therefore connect to a new network) disappeared. With SP2 it has
returned. Shame I can't actually pick up the wireless lan from here.
Really need to move the box, but that requires rewiring telephone points

as I have the old engineer installed Master Splitter ADSL
