in the device manager, can I just have the same card serve as a network adaptor and be used for wifime? I know they cannot be used at the same time, but if I just disable one at a time, would that work? (I would try myself, but I don't want to screw everything up)

I tried that but Windows still seems to reserve the resources when the card is disabled, so you can't have two sets of drivers. I have to choose update driver whenever I want to switch. I automated the process with this command line device manager.

I made two batch files.

To switch to normal driver:
devcon update c:\ds\normal_driver\rt2500.inf PCI\CC_0280

To switch to firefly's driver:
devcon update c:\ds\driver\winxp\i386\rt2560.inf PCI\CC_0280

The path to the .inf files will need to be changed. The hardware ID (in my case "PCI\CC_0280") can be found by running:

devcon -m:\\your_computer_name hwids *
