I have a dwa-542 wireless n card and a linksys wireless n router and its
a pita sometimes. Once in a while it does this thing where I cannot get
it to detect a wireless network no matter what I do, it may finally
detect then not detect like 2 min later etc...or even detect with good
strength then I will have no internet. Usually I have to go all the way
as to not only uninstall the drivers etc...and reboot, but but also go
to the trouble of rebooting the wireless router, and actually shut down
the computer for about a min. Then turn it back on, then it works most
of the time. This happens when I have to reset the computer with the
button on the front, or other things happen like the power goes out or
windows explorer decides it wants reboot itself. Is there a way to make
sure that when it boots back up it is not corrupt when these things
happen? This has happened even on my newer windowsxp install!

It almost seems like the wireless card has to completely power down
in order for it to start working again....also wireless connection get
renamed wireless connect 1 then 2 then 3 and so on every times this
happens.....at least it starts working again after about a 15 minuite
ordeal, but what a pita! I am using latest firmware and drivers with the
latest windows updates.
