Some other problems I found was xp seemed to lose the card, and using detect new hardware would not even detect it. I ended up having to uninstall and reinstall. There are just way too many issues that were similiar to when I tried version 2.6 with 98.

I had been wrestling with a problem with the WUSB11 v3.0 adapter for the last 3 days. I was finding that it first worked in Windows 2K, then in XP, then never again in 2K. The behavior was that the WLAN monitor kept saying that the device was "not installed" or "inactive" even though Windows clearly saw the adapter (it showed up as installed correctly in the Device Manager).

I noticed that I was getting an error message in the Win2K Event Log from the PCANDIS5 service that "path is invalid". The registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\PCANDIS5\ImagePath had a directory that did not exist! It was "\??\C:\PROGRA~1\WUSB11~1\PCANDIS5.SYS". This appears to perhaps be an old location of PCANDIS5 maybe in an older version of the driver. I changed the value to "\??\C:\WINNT\system32\PCANDIS5.SYS", rebooted, and the WUSB11 works perfectly now on all my Win2K machines!!

I hope this helps someone else out and prevents them from having to spend 3 or more days on this problem. Besides this, this USB adapter seems to be very good.

I'm using a Linksys wireless access point located about 50 feet away on a lower floor. This is a lot easier than running CAT5 cable all over your house. Very good connection speed. Great product, highly recommended.

LINKSYS, *WHAT* kind of product is this? Will it ever work again? It cost me $52.00, please tell me it will!

1 star for the fact that it worked, for a while. 1 star for the fact that I like the WRT54G router, so I'll throw that in because I'm feeling hospitable.

I purposely stayed with Linksys because I also use the AccessPoint Router + wireless card for our laptop. The setup on these were as painless as can be as well.

The range on the WUSB11 is remarkable - way better than the wireless card on the laptop (as there are certain places in our house that the laptop signal is dismal). I have the AccessPoint in my second floor office, the laptop with the card on the first floor and the WUSB11 in the basement on an old computer. So far, I've received nothing but very good to excellent reception in the basement. Sharing files seems to work just fine too!

I realize that configuring this for specific tasks or settings may be contributing to other people's woes but if you're looking for a simple wireless way to share your internet connection and swap files amongst your home network - Linksys is the way to go.

If my wireless card for the laptop ever dies, I would seriously consider buying another one of these to replace it - despite that fact that it's a little bigger than the card.

That aside I've never had it up and running for more than a few weeks at a time without total meltdown and reinstall.

I'm going to wires........

After spending almost 4 hours - resetting my SMC router, network settings, etc. It simply would not work with WEP enabled.

The unit itself is good. But if you want WEP on XP, you might want to try something else. That's what I am going to do.

Occassionally my system would freeze completely mostly when I loaded it with intensive disk tasks like combining defragmenting with copying data. At first I suspected outdated drivers and the like, but after almost two weeks of updating, trying and testing I figured out that the system crashes only when the Linksys is attached to the USB port. When I disconnect it my PC becomes 100% stable. I believe these crashes are more frequent when the signal available to the Linksys is in the medium to low range (i.e. when it tries to establish or re-establish connections).

Ever since I removed the Linksys WUSB11 my system has been stable as a rock. So I'd advise people to look at other vendors' solutions like Netgear.

The silver lining: Linksys got me to update every single driver for every single part of my PC, thank you Linksys.

My current Trendware PCMCIA card took 5 minutes to install - including the 128 bit WEP encryption - and has been running smoothly for over one year. I wanted to expand my wireless network and bought the WUSB11.

I spent over 2 hours (my saint like patience) trying to get this WUSB11 to connect to my existing network without success. I then called Linksys tech support (the only thing good I can say is they provide 24 hour a day tech support). After one hour they told me my router was the problem (US Robotics 802.11b) - yeah right.

I took the Linksys back to Best Buy, exchanged it for the Microsoft MN-510 (USB). I was up and running in **5 minutes**. If you don't have a Linksys Wireless Access Point/Router, I wouldn't touch their products.

I replaced the Sieman's adapter with this Linksys one. I already had this Linksys USB adapter on one computer. With two computers using this Linksys adapter, and a notebook using a Linksys wireless card, with an SMC router, I no longer have intermittent network crashes. Oh, and it's true, this Linksys adapter has a better range. I now get "excellent" signal strength steadily where before the usual signal was "good" at the most.

Both computers are running Win XP Prof on Dell Pentium 4 machines, and the notebook is a Compaq Armada. I did not have to do any tricky configuring. They just work.

While the monitor software always said it had been connected to the router,but it was not the truth.I have to reboot my computer for many times to make the connection correctly,although once it starts to work everything looks good.
After past 3 days' configuration,I found the problem can't be solved,so I decide to return it.
