Kind late i think, is december now....;-)
Yes I have some of the same problems here.
I am running WinXp and the WUSB11 does not receive an IP adres from
the router. On another PC with an PCI wireless interface it works
fine.
So I think it 's a problem for linksys. If i use a static IP outside
the DHCP range it works fine.
So try to gife the USB11 an static IP outside th dhcp range... This
works with me.
I m still searching on the net for a solution. I think this has to
come from linksys!
