Cable Forum - View Single Post - DLink DWA-140 (from VM) won't connect to WLAN

I tried both installing without it plugged in (from the latest driver download using exe) and with it plugged in and then running the install.

I wiped the HDD and did a keyless install of 7, same problems - tried it in another XP-SP3 machine, same problems.

I've put my old trusty Linksys 54G PCI Card in and am formatting back to XP SP3 - I need my PC and the N performance difference across the LAN was negligible, and I can live without the faster speeds - any large downloads are done by wire anywho.

The DLink Router is also a shile of pite compared to my old WRT54GL, never had to reboot that beast and wireless range was tonnes better. And I have put DD-WRT on that and it has blown it wide open also.

EDIT: Back on XP with my old Linksys - same problem?!?

I am COMPLETELY lost now...

EDIT #2: Rebooted, reset BIOS, USB Wifi in - and it works...madness...
