I wish this were true!! The XP SP2 Wireless Wizard WILL save settigns
to a USB key AS you create them in the first place. BUT if you
already, after many different wlan connects, have a long list of
definitions in your XP wlan profile, then it does NOT appear that this
wizard will save them for transfer to , say Vista...

Also, the Vista NETSH command DOES let you save wlan information to an
xml format file which can then be used to transfer settings between
machines BUT the XP SP2 NETSH doesn't support the same wlan commands -
so on XP SP2 you cannot export your wlan settings!

Any suggestions / corrections welcome!
