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
