Windows XP SP2 Wifi Trouble

Hey guys,

Just loaded Windows XP SP2 onto my Mac as part of boot camp. Went fine, but my copy doesn't give me the option of locating wireless signals, even in the Network & Connections screen.

Is there a simple way to go about this, or will I need to go locate a driver online on my Mac, load it on a disk, then load it into Windows?

If I need to go grab a driver, can anyone point me in the right direction?

http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3777 notes where the drivers are. Why would you need to go online for the drivers?

When I loaded the Leopard start up disk into Windows, it should have given me access to the Wifi network connections, but it didn't...I've had problems loading up windows with boot camp before, mostly the sound driver (which I have to hunt down later, once this is fixed.)

I'll give it another run through, but we'll see.

Just used the disk to repair any drivers that didn't get loaded up the first time. Still doesn't work.

I just need to be able to access a wireless signal. Network connection screen still only wants me to set up my own wireless signal, which doesn't help at all.

But this is a first for me. I've never seen this fail. Maybe there's more to this story such as a person that tried to install non-Apple drivers.
