Re: WG311 Freezing XP Problem Hi. I am experiencing the same problem as described here only with a Linksys WUSB54G wireless-g usb adapter and FIC K8-800T motherboard (which has VIA VT8237 chipset).
Every so often my mouse will stop tracking properly then Windows will totally lock up requiring a hard reboot. I have the latest (and only) bios for my mobo, the latest via drivers, the latest linksys driver, and am using Windows XP SP2 to manage my connection. I've tried installing the via PCI latency patch. It seems to have helped somewhat. Now my lockups are every few hours instead of minutes, but they still persist.
I have tried clean installs of Windows 2000, Windows XP with no service pack, and WinXP w/ SP2. I have tried plugging the adapter in different usb ports. In all cases, the problem is remains the same.
Seeing as I have a usb and not pci wireless adapter, does anyone have any suggestions as to what I could try to fix this without replacing hardware?
I believe the Linksys WUSB54G uses a PrismGT chipset, not Atheros. Can anyone confirm? |

| Is there perhaps an updated Intersil Singlesource driver for PrismGT based adapters? I have looked around online but have been unable to find a generic driver. |

| Suggest you post this in the Linksys forum |
|
| Ok, but the problem is with the adapter chipset (PrismGT) and motherboard chipset (VT8237) which are common to Netgear/Linksys and VIA based motherboards of many generations. |
|
| Point taken! I think this thread may help...
