Default will winxp give me a choice



When I bought my Toshiba Satellite L20/L25 series laptop it came with

a Atherous AR5005g Wireless Network. The wireless connection at home

works great but when I go on the road I get ether no signal or a low

signal. I bought a Air 802 usb adaptor with a 5 db gain antenna. When

I plug the new adaptor into the usb, " Winxp will see it and ask if I

want Winxp to configure the new wifi adaptor". My question, if

Winxp configures the new adaptor will I be able to choose between

Atheros and the Air 802 depending where I am.

Thanks for any help

Yes. It's just another network interface.

Just disable whichever device you are not using at the moment, windows wont
have a choice that way.
