You have to do as much as you can to get rid of the yellow marks.
There can be hardware conflicts present. Windows has limited ability to identify hardware conflicts, but the yellow marks are enough to let you know something is not right, but the hardware manager can not tell you what is exactly wrong. You want to have good drivers for everything. The drivers dip down into the raw MACHINE code level and can mess up Interrupt Service Routines and I/O port assignments.

Now in some CASES a bad driver does not hurt anything. Maybe not this time.

Also, it still can be something else. Another post mentioned the WEP problem. Some hardware and XP combos have a hard time with this. That is one reason why I SAID try another adapter.

This link may apply in your case.
