After using the ParkerVision USB1500 on two different computers, I'm getting the impression they never tested their driver/utility on XP SP2....
- Both machines can get stuck in this in-between mess where the ParkerVision utility insists that Windows Wireless Zero Configuration is in control of the adapter, but on the other hand Windows Zero Config says it doesn't have control of the adapter so nothing works... Their published docs for resolving the conflict are not up to date with XP SP2 wireless screen dialogs....
- The machine can reboot and think there is no USB1500 present when in fact it is. Unplugging and replugging the USB cable re-detects the device and the ParkerVision utility then sees it... Weird.
- When the ParkerVision utility does work, it scans and sees no wireless networks available (when in fact I have one or two APs within feet of the machine) Ugh.
Their whole software setup seems just plain flaky.
