Timeout Probs on USB Wireless Card under XP

[Andy B]

Hi,

just recently upgraded from ME to XP Home and my Compaq
WL215 USB wireless cards seem to keep hanging.

The connection to the wireless hub remains, but it hangs
the connection and you have to diable and re-enable to
view the content.

I've upgraded to latest drivers.

I have the exact same pronblem on two machines that have
been upgraded and no problems on a notebook which is
running Windows 2000.

Any clues ?

While this article focuses on MSBBN hardware, the same fix applies if you
aren't authenicating against an 802.1x provider (you most likely aren't if
you don't know what I'm talking about here)
