Intel ProSet Wireless on 5000 series cards wedging itself, fix

A constant problem for us is Intel wireless geting
wedged in an impossible state, which has to be
fixed by disabling and reenabling the wireless
manually, to restore wireless connectivity.

(Dell wireless cards don't have this problem.)

It's most likely to be a lock bug in the Intel
driver, or perhaps in XP.

Anyway you can avoid it by disabling one core of a
dual-core processor.
(start/run/msconfig/boot.ini/advanced, select one
processor)

In otherwords the fix is to cut your CPU speed in half? What a solution.
If somebody pays for a dual core CPU, God damnit they have the right to
use it. That's like buying a car with a V8 but turning off four cylinders.

It doesn't cut your speed in half. Depending on what you're doing, it may
make it faster by cutting memory contention.

If you're running a single thing, it probably makes it faster.
