Any chance you have an nForce 4 motherboard? Some people have been telling me there is interference between the ethernet and wireless pci cards on nforce bords making them KP. I would really love to get this fixed and have tried almost everything. Any help? :)

 

GB EP35-DS3P, Retail SL.

 

The script I used assumes the on-board LAN ported to be enabled. Perhaps, altering the script to look for the wifi card, would do the trick.

well im thinking of getting a dwa 556 or the dwa 547. price doesnt matter to me just want the one that is more supported and working. i was originally going to get the 556 but cant find anyone that has had any success. also i heard that you cannot get very good speeds at all and that they are both slow. is this true and which one is more supported
