Edimax EW-7128g needs reboot to activate?

Hi

Windows XP PRO SP2 fully patched. Older P III machine.

When this machine is booted the wireless network card is always in
error code 10, and the system tray item greyed out, and the hover says
"Not installed". And, of course, no network.

If I reboot from the shutdown menu, then when it comes back up, all is
well.

This happens EVERY TIME. I do not do anything else but re-boot.

Any ideas please. Is this a race condition between widows network load
and driver load? If so , how to fix? Or, is the card simply not detected
on the PCI bus on initial power up. And again, how to fix?

To put it plainly, this is a PITA - but solvable by a reboot EVERY
time.

Wierd or what?

Machine has no other PCI card, minumum s/w, ie a card game, ms office
and paint shop pro. HP USB printer and Packard Bell USB scanner. Nothing
else.

Any ideas?

TIA

Rob
