This card is giving me headache.
First thing, it worked wonderful under w2k. When we upgraded to XP the trouble started...

The card i detected just fine, signal strength is excellent and is works for about about 30 standard ping-packets.

It seems like there is some buffer that gets overflowed in XP... anyone know anything about this, please help!

Has anyone found a solution to this problem. I am experiencing the same issue. my drivers and firmware have been updated. I have an excellent signal but cant get out to the web or my network.
 
Are you getting an ip addr? are you using dhcp or static?
 
Check your access point IP address and configuration.
 
I'm having problems with this too. I've got the newest drivers and firmware for both the LAN card and AP. It seems like XP is going searching for networks. It will connect to the right one for a little while(minutes, at the most) then lose the signal.

I've got two networks set up in the client manager. One for when users are in the office(Access Point) and one for when they are out in the field(peer to peer). It seems to want to default to the peer-to-peer.

Any ideas on how to keep it from jumping around?
 
Under the Properties for the card, Wireless Network, disable 802.1x authentication.
