Wirless network NS after SP2

Ok here is the problem. Before SP2 system worked fine.
I am running a SMC 7004vwbr router. My laptop is a M30 Toshiba with
wireless build in ( Intel (R) Pro /wireless Lan 2100 3B.
My Network Authentication is Open;
My Data encryption is WEP.

Under my Wireless network connection this is what I get
1. Speed is great maxed out at 11.0 Mbps
2. Signal strength is excellent

I have tried to repair connection. When I do this it seems to get hung up
on renewing IP address I get the error "Windows could not finish repairing
the problem because the following action cannot be completed: Renewing your
IP address"

It then shows the message that it has limited or no connectivity. Details
are as follows:
Physical address: 00-04023085-12-07
IP address 169.254.189.34
Subnet mask 255.255.0.0
Default gateway is blank
DNS server is blank
Wins server is blank.

After I first upgraded It kept dropping out ever 5 mins or so. I took the
advice first sent to me to get rid of the IEEE athentication, and it was
solid all day until I shut down. When I tried to boot up again. I have not
seen the internet again.

Pse help. I am very frustrated and even considering backing up all my files
and reloading my computer to with my original software - thus eliminating sp2.

The dreaded "limited connectivity" message means just that
DHCP can't obtain IP address.
Possibly the configuration info stored in Windows was lost
in the update. Try to disable all security and encryption on the router, and
configure it again in Wireless config (delete old definition and re-enter SSID).
If then you get DHCP working, restore security settings on the router and
in Wireless config for your card.
Otherwice you need updated driver for 2100.

Hey Bill
Had exactly same problem with same card.
Updated card driver and all systems were go...
Had to first go back and uninstall sp2.
