It seems like this used Hawking Technology's Hi-Gain USB Wireless-G Adapter (Model: HWU54D; original version) works better than that D-Link one (older) so far.

Not that I use either one of those softwares and what I've read from using Google, they could be replaced rather easily using open source equivalents. This would also get your client to a new OS with more support and less problems.

Maybe I missed it, but you never said that other wifi adapters are not failing the connection to the AP. I would like to go out on a limb and say that if another wifi adapter stays connected then the wifi adapter is going out. I had a similar problem with my mini-pci adapter in my old laptop and had one laying around for parts. Easy replacement.

I take it that since the machine is running win2k sp4 then the hardware has to be old as well. I didn't understand how NS could have helped you trouble shoot a wifi adapter that is obviously failing and needs to be replaced. Especially when the wifi adapter is not even a supported adapter in NS.
