DWL-G650 stops working after a few seconds

I have a DWL-G650 (802.11g PCMCIA card) running on a Windows XP HOME SP2
laptop. It was working fine with my 802.11b WEB secured network, but
when I upgraded to 802.11g with WPA it has started malfunctioning. My
Access Point is a Motorola wr850g running DD_WRT v23 SP1. Security is
WPA-PSK using AES encryption. When I first connect to the access point
everything works fine. I can browse the internet, LAN and see the AP's
config page. However, after about 6-10 seconds I no longer get
anything. The windows WZC still shows connected, but I can't connect to
any other device, even by IP address. I can't even ping the AP. It is
weird that it shows as connected yet nothing works. Any thoughts?
I have downloaded the latest driver from the dlink site, but no change
in functionality.
Thanks
Bryant Smith

BTW, My WINXPHOME desktop with a xterasys PCI card as well as my other
wr850g running in bridge mode both work flawlessly with this settup. It
is just the D-Stink card that is having issues.

My guess is that WPA is broken on the DWL-G650, or that the
implementation is incompatible with the WR850g. Try a different card or
router.

Or try a different client. Buffalo's Client Manager2 worked well with my
DWL-650+ card, using WPA-PSK/TKIP encryption when connected to a D-Link
DWL-G700AP.

Get it online from Buffalo's support site.

I switched from WPA-PSK encryption from AES to TKIP on both the AP and
the DWL-G650 and it now works. It must have an issue with AES. My
other wireless adapter worked well with either one so I guess I'll stick
with TKIP.

Not surprising -- lots of buggy firmware out there.
