We have had them disabled now for about two years now. When we were planning this, we had about 10 routine clients that were associating at .11b rates routinely on our guest network--so we couldn't identify them, just where they were connecting. When we pitched this, we thought it best to invest in a couple dozen low profile USB wifi NICs that we were certain worked with Windows 2000 that we could hand out to clients that requested them. I think we bought 20 total of a couple different models, and I still have a handful left.
Could be a possible avenue for you. Good luck.
