Default 901 XP: Wireless?

Re-formatted my Linux 901 and used nLite to install Windows XP
Pro from my MSDN discs.

Seems to have worked: boot time 25 seconds compared to 27 with
Xandu and 1:01 with Ubuntu. A little over 3 gigs on the system
drive.

But I can't figure out how to get wireless working.

I went through the Wireless setup wiz, but it seems like I should
see a wireless icon somewhere on the screen that tells me signal
strength and allows connecting/disconnecting .

Maybe I mistakenly told nLite to delete the needed feature?

Or is there something I need to do setup-wise to start wireless?

You would need to install the drivers for your PC, or motherboard

Per OldMan:

Had done that, so I re-installed all the drivers and utilities
after downloading them from the Taiwan site.

Somewhere along the line, a little "eeePC Tray Utility" applet
magically appeared in task bar's notification area.

It's RightClick popup included an "Enable WLAN" option.

Duhhhhhhhhhh........ -)
