Did you make sure these were updated driver? Also you may want to try and install the card in another pci slot. Do you know if you are having any IRQ conflicts see site below for a reference.<br />

This is actually for a co-worker of mine and I just found out he is not using a PCMCIA card but a USB wireless card, Linksys model WUSB54G. &nbsp;He has installed and uninstalled several times. &nbsp;Should he still follow the procedure above?

I have a cable modem connection to the internet. &nbsp;I also have a LINKSYS wireless router in place. &nbsp;I have a work laptop that works great wirelessly. &nbsp;I have a LINKSYS wireless card for a desktop PC running Windows XP. &nbsp;Whenever I install the drivers for the wireless card, it works fine for a while, but if I shut the PC down or even let it hibernate, when I come back it no longer shows the wireless drivers installed. &nbsp;What could cause the drivers to not be retained on the PC?<br />

Thanks in advance

Drivers for wireless access point not retained

Wireless networking is a method by which homes, telecommunications networks and enterprise (business) installations avoid the costly process of introducing cables into a building, or as a connection between various equipment locations. Wireless telecommunications networks are generally implemented and administered using radio communication. This implementation takes place at the physical level (layer) of the OSI model network structure. The key hardware components of a wireless computer network include adapters, routers and access points, antennas and repeaters.

Wireless Hardware

Networking is the process of connecting computing devices, peripherals and terminals together through a system that uses wiring, cabling or radio waves that enable their users to communicate, share information and interact over distances. Often associated are issues regarding operating systems, hardware and equipment, cloud and virtual networking, protocols, architecture, storage and management.
