I have experienced that too, with Netgear. Netgear has a beta version of a new driver, that can work with Windows XP: http://www.expressresponse.com/netgear1/support2.html?product=MA101
There are still problems with it, but you can have a connection. We have the MA101 connected to a Linksys WAP11. I our setup the betadriver - used in Windows XP - disconnects every 60 seconds and reconnects 2-3 seconds later. Netgear have told us that it might help if we disable the WEP setup in Windows XP and set the WEP from the Netgear configuration utility. We have not tested that yet.
