I had a choice, I finally got sick of response time in Vista and
formatted my wife's laptop this weekend. Ah  a beautiful Windows
XP Pro. After 463 reboots (needed for each individual driver install

The thing is snappy now. I have Ubuntu on a partition, so I knew the
little guy had *some* power, but I am absolutely amazed at how fast XP

Re: [MBZ] OT Linksys USB WiFi

2007-07-16 Thread BillR
Hi Luther - I am not an expert on these things, but FWIW I use a Linksys
system to link to a computer 7 rooms away in M-i-L's attached apartment and
don't really have any problems with it.  Email comes in while browsing with
no problem.  Signal strength is almost never over 40% at that distance
[several neighbors come into my office stronger].  I am using what sounds
like the same system you have - WUSB54, but with an HP tower system that is
about two years old.  Sounds like you have other problems, and hopefully one
of the computer literate listers can help

Boot off of a PCLinuxOS CD, see if it recognizes the card, and browse a few
web sites to see how it operates. PCLinuxOS seems to love WiFi (based solely

Vista is a turd.  The only reason it will gain market share is that

[MBZ] OT Linksys USB WiFi

2007-07-15 Thread Luther
I have a Linksys WUSB54 WiFi adapter that drives me nuts.  No matter how strong 
or weak the signal, it cannot handle more than 1 data stream at a time.  If I'm 
browsing/loading a webpage and email hits it's time to check and download, the 
connection will lock up and the computer has to be restarted.  This happens in 
both Win2k and Xp on my laptop.  It's also bluescreened the desktop and that's 
NEVER happened on Win2k in 5 years of this computer's life.  Is this anyone's 
experience with Linksys, or should I return and purchase another one from 
Walmart?
This is my first Linksys purchase, I've allways had USR/3com and only purchased 
this after discovering that they are part of Cisco.
