Questions about a D-Link DWL-1000AP and DWL-650 Network Setup

[wjsulliv]

Currently I can network my desktop and laptop the following 2 ways.
1) 10/100 NIC connections
2) DWL-650 Wireless connections running in AD-HOC

I am intending to add a DWL-1000AP to my hub (which is used when I hardwire/10-100 connect the machines) and remove the DWL-650 from the desktop (to be used in the future for another machine). I currently share dail-up over my network and want to increase the range of the laptop.

I am running Windows XP Pro, which the Wireless NIC Management software from D-Link apparently is incompatable with.

I have the following questions:
1) How do I configure the DWL-1000AP if the software is not XP compatable? I am not impressed with the setup I am currently running (the built in XP wireless software) for the DWL-650. I don't think I have much control.

2) Will this be complicated to do? Am I going to face a lot of problems?

What are people using for software to configure this AP in windows XP? (According to the website the software isn't compatable with XP) If the software is compatable with XP do I have to alter any of my XP settings to get it to work?
