Reminder on Linksys WUSB54 Memory Leak problem

Just a reminder to users of the Linksys WUSB54G WAP on an old problem.
Running Win2K or WinXP, memory usage can creep up to consuming horrendous
amounts of RAM, causing problems. The latest Linksys Driver/Monitor
software on their site fixes the problems.

I spent a bit of time looking for the fix before going back to Linksys
support site to find that the driver was updated.

Doesn't duct tape work on memory leaks? I Thought it did everything....

Nope. It's a plumbing problem. Memory leaks can be temporarily
collected in a bit bucket, but that will eventually overflow. If you
have a large memory pool, some expert tools are required:

The memory leak on the WUSB54G monitor program is easily detectable by
bringing up Windows' Task Manager and monitoring the WUSB54G.EXE program in
the Process window. You can see the memory usage go up evey minute or two
while the monitor program is running.

Interestingly, I see the memory usage going up in the new
driver/monitor program, too, albeit at a much more slow rate than the
older driver/monitor program.
