Mart,

What concerns me here is that John seemingly cannot even get the driver to
install, instead the installer just hangs and never completes. If he could
at least do this he might be able to proceed, and yes I am aware of the
importance of installing the drivers before inserting the device, but unless
he can get the driver to install I feel he is going nowhere. In contrast it
took some 15 seconds or so for the installer to install the drivers on a Win
Me system here although that is where I had to stop since I don't have an
EW-7318USg to test whether the driver installation was correct.

Hi Mike & John,

'Scuse butinski (and pardon me if I've missed some of the thread) ...
but although :-
http://www.edimax.co.uk/en/support_d...id=1&pl2_id=44
implies that the EW-7318USg works with WinMe, in section 1.3 on page
5 of the User Manual :-
http://www.edimax.co.uk/images/Image...anual-0710.pdf
WinMe is not included in the compatibility list - AND goes on to say
the it "May not work on USB 1.1 port, and performance will be greatly
reduced"
Further - according to the User Manual - there is a 'correct
sequence' of installing the Software (and drivers) by first
cancelling the 'Found New Hardware Wizard' (see p20) then go to p23
'Software Installation'
My own experience with a Siemens Gigabit 108 USB WiFi stick was that
you MUST follow that (or at least a very similar sequence) to get it
to work with USB 1.1 - and even using USB 2.0 (via a PCMCIA card on
WinMe laptop) I found it very iffy to setup and run. Pointing the
'found new hardware' wizard to the .inf file was not a solution.
