I am using the Intel Proset Wireless Client Version 11.5.0 on a Dell Latitude D520 running Windows XP Pro SP3.

My problem is that when I create profiles with the Intel Client they do not show up in the profiles list. This happens when I try to add them manually and import them. Any ideas?

Also, when I try to add them again with the same profile name... it asks me if I want to replace the existing profile.. which is not there.

I have wasted hours wrestling with driver issues relating to Intel Pro wireless, and finally concluded that the driver/hardware combination is fundamentally flawed.

Be sure you have the latest Intel Pro driver upgrade from the Dell Support website. If this doesn't resolve matters, try switching to the [i]default[/i] Windows wireless driver.

If, as I suspect, your issues are not resolved, try a USB wireless adapter such as Linksys. I found the Linksys adapter so fast and reliable that I never bother with the native wireless chip anymore.

As of right now I can not find a fix for this problem. Intels support was of no help. As for now I am using the Windows Wireless client until I can find something out.
