Belkin has its own wireless networking monitor, but if you have windows XP SP2, then let windows do it, else they both clash!

I have an RZ502P which is probably similar and there was at least one spare PCI socket available which enabled me to fit a wireless PCI card and have it up and running in a few minutes.

There's one in the RA104.

Akanksha: with Microsoft's track record I know I'd stick with Belkin
