Please log in for more thread options I have a PCMCIA card with an RT2500 chip in. This comes with the RALINK drivers and utilities. Seems to work O.K. under Win2K apart from when using WEP/PSK. I impulse bought a Belkin Wireless G USB Network Adapter F5D7050UK because it was under £20 in John Lewis. I installed it as instructed on my Win2K portable with the RALINK card already in and working) but couldn't get the Belkin management utility to start. Once I checked and found they were both using similar chips (RA2500 and RA2500USB) I became suspicious. I closed down, removed the RALINK card and restarted. The Belkin utility then worked fine and I could configure the card. Subject to further testing, this seems to me a major bug. I see no reason why I shouldn't be able to have two active wireless devices on the same system at the same time. For instance, I might want to bridge between two wireless networks. Anyone else had this problem? Cheers Dave R | ||||||||||||||||

[Sounds slow given the overheads on current WiFi cards] Much as Ethernet cards do now. Interesting, for sure. However I want to have two different physical cards each connected to a different logical network which is hardly rocket science. Being unable to even manage the second device when the first is active is pretty awful. So: has anyone else had this problem? TIA Dave R | ||||||||||||||||
