I'm not familiar with this particular card, but Communicator will definitely work with wireless.

I have been chasing this issue for awhile.

There is another post IP Communicator with XP SP2 that discusses the same issue.

There was a post several weeks ago that stated that Atheros was working on it. I wiill try to find that post again.

I have observed exactly this problem, and currently have a TAC Case open for this, so far the status is:

1) Atheros and Cisco agree that this points strongly to a problem in the atheros device-driver

2) Atheros's FAE and Dev Manager visited Cisco 08/23/05 and debugged the problem.

3) They took back with them a working Communicator setup to reproduce this issue inhouse.

4) They will come back with a final analysis in a couple of days.

5) At that point they will also provide Cisco guidance on telling customers what they can do, especially if they are running non-Cisco 'Atheros' based NICs such as the one found HP Laptops.

So it is in 3rd party hands as it looks like device drive bug.
