Problem with a cisco aironet

patrickf3 · 09-07-2005

Okay I have this cisco aironet wireless adapter, and my network is setup perfectly (currently no secuirty - while I am having this problem) and randomly during the day my net will die, and not work. My 2 other roomates have no problems with the wireless ever. I have noticed a disliking with the cisco aironet software that connects to the network (but you can't browse like windows) so my question is, how and if can I make my card only use windows to search for a windows connection (like any other normal card would)....I want to be able to browse between networks so when I am on the go it is easier than this aironet crap.

Thanks!

I am using XP SP2, cisco aironet 350 i think is the model number of the card, there are no errors, it just disconnects, i am using vendor supplied obviously...but I want windows to controll things, and I am not sure about the other questions

If you want windows WZC manager to manage things then or going to have to get a new card, as the cisco cards are made/targeted to companies that can use them with cisco AP's, and because of this they must run the cisco card manager. They also can have problems connecting to/using non-cisco AP's.. Cut your losses and get another card.. If you have a Mini-PCI slot on your NB, then hit ebay and get an Intel 2200 card for $20.

Actually they hold a 20% share of (Fuji Heavy Industries), which makes the Subaru. Not sure for how long they've held the share.
If you look at the new Saab 9-2x awd (It's a Subaru Impreza)
