I'm interested in the general opinions out there re: to use or not to use Windows Zero Configuration (WZC), which is the feature that MS SP2 uses to automatically find available wireless networks. Specifically - is anybody bypassing it with another connection manager and having improved performance? If so, what connection manager are you using?
Maybe I'm grabbing at straws given my continuing connectivity woes with the notorious Intel 2200BG wireless card (in my VAIO VGN S430, with my DLink DI624 router, etc).

I've unchecked let windows manage my wireless network in favour of the intel pro/wireless a/b/g software. Not sure if I'm supposed to disable WZC in services, but that would be good to know also. All I did was uncheck the "let windows mange my wireless connection checkbox".

i find the intel software more robust.. and easier and faster to scan for networks and connect to them... but all in all overall performance i don't see a difference.
Should I disable/bypass WZC?
