IBM Thinkpad Wireless Software vs. Windows SP2 Wireless software

I am one of the people who regularly use Windows Update, so I installed SP2 for XP. At the same time, I also use the IBM Update function that updates the software that was pre-installed on my machine.

Now, it seems that every time I use one of the two, either the manufacturer's software or Windows tries to gain the "upper hand" on which software controls my wireless Internet access.

It's kind of confusing, and I was wondering if any other member had similar issues.

I think in XP, one can change the setting to "Let Windows manage my wireless connections" or something like that.

Would you recommend that?

Thanks.
