Here is another (better) workaround I came up with :
I have provided a batch file that determines the status of the d-link
dwl-650 card and automatically restarts the wireless card in the event the
device could not start under Windows XP/2000.
Note: The following batch script is provided as is and you may use it at
your own risk!
The following instructions are intended for 'expert' users and require some
knowledge about batch scripting and devcon (a Microsoft utility found here
http://support.microsoft.com/default...microsoft.com:
80/support/kb/articles/q311/2/72.asp&NoWebContent=1 )
Overview
The batch file searches for the d-link dwl-650+ wireless card and determines
if its running (this is dev_8400 on my machine). You will need determine
the device number using devcon on your machine.
If the wireless card has not started, then the script will disable the
network card, wait 5 seconds and enable it again.
