It is always the best with networking to use the latest driver. It could also be a BIOS setting concerning USB. What happens when it is not recognized when you unplug it, wait a few seconds, then replug it in?
If I unplug the cable and then plug it back in it works. However, this doesn't happen all the time. Sometimes when you unplug it and then plug it back in, Windows doesn't even see the wireless card, hence you have to re-install it from cd-rom again. Where can I locate latest drivers for the card?
I have been having the same problem - its not a problem with the driver. I bought 2 machines exactly the same at the same time.
The difference is that on the first I plugged the device in before installing the driver now on one machine it works and the other it doesnt. the plugging in first is the only difference. Its a real pain in the a**, as the desktop box is jammed somewhere out the way and the only way to connect is unplging the device or reloading the drivers.
It has something to do with the order of device recognition - it finds an unknown device but then can match the device to the driver.
