Issues with linksys systems

I think there might be an issue with the linksys hardware and Vista. I was
running Beta 2 for a few months without any issues with my wireless card but
now that I have installed RC1 5600 I get dropped from my home network every
few seconds. I know I am getting a good IP address, dns, etc., and I have
tried uninstalling the drivers but to no avail. I am currently at work and
have not had an issue with my wireless (I've been working for 3 hours now).

I looked at various forums and many linksys cards are having issues. I have
a broadcom 802.11g card, which seems to be fine, so my linksys router (
WRT54GS ) seems to be the problem. The only strange thing I have seen is that
I am sending an unusually low amout of packets out, aprox 1000 packets sent
but 8500 recieved.


Is anyone else having issues with linksys routers/wireless hardware?

Same problem with me to Andrew. I also have a Linksys wireless adaptor
(Broadcom 802.11g Network Adapter) connecting to a WAG54G-V2 router.
Connection drops every 15-20min, have to restart computer to solve problem.
Had been previously running Beta2 5384 for two months without a hitch.

Very annoying!

If I find a solution I will post it back here.

Cheers
Jamie
