Way back when, when the shack computer was running WinXP, I tried using a Linksys USB Wireless-G adapter because I didn't want a wired network connection violating the lightning protection. It was slow, so I used the wired connection anyway. About a month ago we got a major lightning hit that charred the serial card to which the rotator controller was connected, killed the 3.3V line on the power supply and took out a bunch of networking devices throughout the house -- including the wireless router. (All this despite the PolyPhaser lightning protection.) The 5K antenna connections were all grounded at the time, and it was unscathed. I put together a new shack computer with Win7, replaced the Linksys router by a D-Link Xtreme N, and tried using the Linkys USB adapter again. This time it was not merely slow but kept losing the connection, and the general opinion on the 'Net is that this device does not work with Win7. I bought a D-Link PCI-Express Xtreme N card, which was delivered today. It seems to work OK, BUT I kept getting major DPC spikes and had to run the Firewire driver in Safe Mode 2 to avoid garbled audio even though the driver utility recommended Safe Mode 1. Google turned up a reference to a far better driver (from Atheros, the chip maker) than the one installed by default), but I still have to run in Safe Mode 1.
