Wireless USB dongle

[davidedric]

I have recently installed a wirless LAN using a speedtouch 580 router.
It works fine on my laptop, but I have an annoying issues with my (Dell)
desktop.

If I start up the PC with the dongle in place, then although the
wireless connection fires up, the PC cannot see the router (or of
course the internet), i.e. I cannot see the router's home page if I
type in it's ip address.

However, if I either start up without the dongle in place, and then
insert it, everything is fine.
If I start up the PC with the dongle in place (so it doen't see the
router) but then remove and re-insert it everything is fine.

Behaviour is the same on all USB ports.

Try going to the website of the manufacturer of the donglke and see if
there is a new version of the driver available. That may help.
