As much as I hate MS, I don't think that's really what's going on. I've got 
some linksys USB radios on an indoor network I take care of that's a mix of 
2000, XP Home, and XP Pro, and we haven't had any problems yet. Other than 
getting XP's integrated WEP to work at times. We choose not to let windows 
manage the wireless connection.

Have you verified that all the settings were correct on XP? for example: 
Network device settings for TCP/IP, the WEP key, SSID. Might make sure it's 
not messed up in the device settings - ie. power saving isn't turning it off 
or something stupid.
