Hi,

I recently got a Dlink DWL-G50 wireless adapter for one of my older
laptops (a Compaq, running WinXP Home SP2).

The Dlink card is a "Rev. B5", and I downloaded the drivers from Dlink
and got them installed.

The Dlink installation installs Dlink's own utility for configuring the
wireless, but I wanted to use the Windows Zero config to do that. At
first, when I enabled the "Let Windows manage" checkbox, I couldn't get
the configuration to show WPA/WPA-PSK, but after a lot of fiddling, I've
been able to get that. I'm not 100% what finally got it working, but I
think it may've been installing the WinXP WPA2 update.

Anyway, things seem to work ok, but I notice that when I boot the
machine up, and if the card is plugged in when I boot, it wasn't showing
up, and in Device Manager, it showed that the card couldn't start, with
a "Code 10".

If I pop the card out, then back in again, XP detects it immediately,
and the wireless works.

If I leave the card out and boot the laptop, then plug the card in after
XP has booted, it gets detected.

I'm probably being a little picky, but I'd like to have the card work in
the situation where the card is plugged in already when the laptop is
booted, and was wondering if anyone has some ideas about what the
problem might be, and how to fix it?

The driver currently 2.2.4.1, dated 7/14/2004, and the file is
ar511.sys, in C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS.

Thanks in advance!

Jim
