SP2 doesn't normally disable devices, but if it shows disabled in device
manager, you probably need to reinstall the drivers.

You might also check Device Manager in safe mode to see if the device shows
up there. If you see it in safe mode, but not normal mode, you should
remove it in Safe Mode and try again.
