Linksys Wireless G USB Adapter issue..

I have a issue with my Linksys wireless USB adapter. I am trying to use it with Vista Home Premium. After installing software... I plug the adapter in (like directions say) and windows update goes to work. It updates the driver , installs correctly, I then connect to my home network and all is good.

My prob is for some reason I lose internet and the USB adapter itself. One time I switched users and lost all.
I have tried uninstalling adapter and tried reinstalling by pointing to my D drive (install CD) in hopes of using the driver that's on the installation CD. as soon as it saw everything.. windows update once again gave me the same buggy driver. I have tried to install with UAC disabled... no luck... the Linksys website/support for drivers has the same updated driver. I tried to use an older one but Windows keeps forcing this updated one down my throat.

My network works well... I think it is a linksys driver issue... . is there a way to fix this?

by the way, I used the same adapter on a XP Pro SP3 system and worked like a charm... could browse internet and adapter worked well.
