Linksys WiFi G card drops connectivity at random 1

[ReK410]

Hi all
I've got a Linksys Wireless G PCMCIA card on my laptop. I do not have the Linksys wireless software installed just the drivers - I'm managing my wireless setup via XP's built wireless configuration.

My problem is that at random times I will loose my wireless connection. Instead of getting the "wireless network unavaiable" message, I get a "there are more than one wireless network connection available" message. I click on the message, it brings up my WEP dialog box (wep keys are entered/saved already)

All I have to do is click "connect" and within a few seconds I've got my connection back but it's really annoying.

Has anyone else expereince this problem? I've reinstalled drivers, re-created the WEP setup and still no luck.

any suggestions? please let me know - rek410 - at- hotmail

Have you applied the Wireless Hotfix rollup package yet?
