Linksys wireless adapter stopped working
I've been using a Linksys WUSB54g v.4 USB wireless adapter on an old
Thinkpad running win98se. This setup had been working great for connecting the Thinkpad to our home network. But then just randomly the wireless adapter stopped working right. It powers up and connects to the router and the internet when the computer boots up, but then the power light just goes off after about 2 minutes, and the connection is dropped. Same exact pattern every time I boot the laptop. I've done everything I can think of to fix this. I've uninstalled everything I've installed recently; I've tried unplugging and reconnecting the adapter's USB cable; I've tried the wireless adapter on another computer, and it works fine; I've tried different USB ports. Any help would be appreciated. |

Linksys wireless adapter usually defective
A common problem is that it detects wired inputs as "network cable
unplugged". An associate of mine had to discard it in favor of D-Link brand. Another can only use a wired port, number 2, and wireless. wrote in message ...
