problem removing intel proset wireless
I want to remove the Intel Proset/wireless and just use the Windows wireless thing instead. I uninstalled the proset/wireless software but it completely removed the driver for the wireless card in the process so now I have nothing. I did a system restore to put it all back. Now, how can I uninstall the proset software but still be able to manage wireless connections with Windows? I did this once before when I decided I didn't want the Intel proset/wireless, but that time it left the windows wireless alone. Any help is appreciated.
- nevermind, I think I got it. I uninstalled Proset, leaving me with no wireless card driver at all, then hit "rollback driver" in the device manager and then update driver, where it then found a driver in C:/windows somewhere and now it works and I only have the windows wireless thing. does that sound ok, do you think i messed anything up doing it this way?
Under network connections, it's listed as "wireless network connection 2" though, I don't know why it was named 2. I just renamed it 1. - It was named two because Windows had the Proset as 1. No big deal.It will work that way for you. It would have been just easier to leave all alone - you could have gone to the wireless properties > Wireless Networks tab and then at top of that tab check "Use Windows to configure my wireless network settings".But what you did will work.
