Microsoft XP WLAN update KB826942

I use a USR2210 PCMCIA WLAN card to connect my XP laptop to my ADSL
connection. I saw today that there was a XP update KB826942 for WLAN so
I installed this but since then I have not been able to hold my WLAN for
more than a few minutes. It reconnects again but it has made use of the
WLAN card impossible and I have gone back to the RJ45 connection.

Does anyone know of any problems with this update?

Yes .. that update is a known problem. I had the same issue, so
uninstalled the "fix" and had stability since.

On the other side of the coin, I too have this hotfix, and
have no problems with my WiFi card ;-)

Thanks, I uninstalled later in the afternoon and all been Ok since then.
Just wanted confirmation that it is a general problem.
