Details please.

Make & model of laptop?
Make & model of wireless card installed?
OS and Service Pack level?

What you have on the surface sounds like Windows XP Service Pack 1 Wireless Zero managing your wireless card. This is pretty typical! But with more details, we can give better advice.

The Intel 2100 has software/firmware issues.

Dell/Intell Wireless 2100 Update

Make sure you follow the directions.

Note the firmware version before you upgrade to make sure you completed the upgrade.
