Thumbs down Compaq iPaq USB 802.11b Adapter Not Working

Would've like to have sent the Compat rept directly to the author, but when I launch NS, it immediately kills my working (and only) net connection via WiFi. Anyway, if this does make it to him, here's some info about the adapter:

Compaq iPAQ 11Mbps Wireless USB Adapter
HNW-200
FCC ID: MXF-WL280
Windows XP SP1
256MB of RAM

NS repts the adapter uses an Atmel chipset, but that's coming from the Device menu. Personally, I wouldn't know.

In case some other unfortunate soul is stuck w/ this clunker as I am, I've discovered that once NS kills the wireless connection, shut down the program and disable, then immed re-enable the WiFi adapter via the Network Connections folder, to recover wirelessness w/o a reboot.

Later, y'all....Jet
