John,
I have faced this problem again in a new machine build. Ultimately, I
think that the folks doing the install of network drivers aren't cleaning up
after themselves. I've found that by manually removing some of the profiles
in the registry helps to clear the path for a clean install. It even
requires removing a service that is created by thy wireless networking
driver. I'm not sure who is to "blame" for it, but after searching various
forums, it seems like many users of various Draft-N network adapters have
problems. The common thread seems to be the Marvell TOPDOG chipset which
various vendors use. Not sure if this is your area, but I'd like to pass on
what I've learned to someone at Microsoft who could be working on a fix for
this..
