slow machine

[Rune Haarberg]

Have installed a wireless Cnet USB 2.0 dongle on one computer and have a
wiress D-link router. One laptop has also wireless.

The computer using USB wireless network card, uses all my process and makes
my computer veeeery slow.

Any ideas?

USB devices suck up CPU power in a serious way. Get a true network adapter
and your problem will almost surely vanish.

No specific recommendations from me, sorry. All my PCs have onboard
ethernet adapters.
