802.1x What?!

Two weeks ago, we finally updated our Windows 2000 servers to Service Pack 4; all except for one, our main database server. The first time that I tried to install the service pack on that server, I got this nastly little message:

An error in updating your system has occurred -Select “OK” to undo changes that have been made, or select “Cancel” to quit. If you select cancel, your system will be left in a partially updated state and may not work properly, When I click “OK”, the changes that have been made are uninstalled and the system rebooted.


This last weekend, we tried again after updating all of the firmware and other hardware on the Dell server. Of course, it didn’t work. So I googled for key phrases found in the service pack install log. Apparently the consenus out there is that if it fails due to that message you have to install this wireless patch first.

Can someone tell me why I have to install a wireless patch on a server that doesn’t have wireless anything on it before I can load Service Pack 4 on it?
