    Hello

    I've been having problems getting my Atheros AR5005G Wireless Network Adapter to turn it's radio on automatically at every reboot.
    All this happening on a Fujitsu Siemens Amilo L7320GW with PhoenixBIOS Setup Utility.
    I just can't find my way around the BIOS to make the radio turn it's self on at every reboot, so I have to manually turn the radio on with Fn+F2 keys at every start-up.
    I know that Bluetooth and other devices like these can be enabled or disabled from BIOS... but this PhoenixBIOS doesn't let me do anything.

    Also... I have a few problems getting Windows XP SP2 to connect to my D-Link DI-624 Router through WPA2 Password Authentication. It seems to be stuck on WEP Open or Shared key... This being my Home network I don't mind changing the security Authentication method, it's just that I prefer WPA2, since more then 2 machines might connect to the AP.

    I'm not sure what other information I have to post, and since I'm not actually sure what the problem is I don't know whether the problem is properly posted under Networking.

    Thank you for your understanding.
