Re: Wireless networking issues in Vista

It seems many people are still experiencing these problems. SKeene has a
problem with #1 and #3. Phoenix5 is having a problem with #2
([url]http://forums11.itrc.hp.com/service/forums/questionanswer.do?threadId=1145307[/url]).

It's been almost five months since my original post. Is there any way to
report these bugs to Microsoft or at least get some word back on if/when
they may be fixed?
