Re: Linksys WMP300n locking system tight

It doesn't look like this is a common problem. It most likely is some
compatibility issue. Thank you everyone for your assistance. I'm going to
shelve this problem and install the USB adapters. I really do appreciate
everyone's assistance.

Yes, the Linksys didn't have a f/w update (new card for them), motherboard
bios and sata bios were at highest level. I considered downgrading the
sata
bios, but that is a slippery slope... where do you stop, what other
problems
will be caused by putting an older bios in, etc.

Did you check for a Linksys Firmware update, and a motherboard bios and

Yes, to no avail. I even tried disabling all the serial, parrallel
ports,
onboard audio, and other non-essentials. It wasn't until I disabled
the
onboard SATA that the problem went away. Unfortunately, that just
isn't an
option as the RAID controller doesn't support the CD-ROM, and I have
to
have
a CD-ROM. :-( My failback solution is to put the WUSB300n on the
systems.
However, I'd rather get the PCI cards working. The odd thing on this
motherboard is that when I disabled the COM and LPT ports, the IRQs
weren't
freed for use by the PNP PCI bus. Is this standard now? I haven't
done
this
type of troubleshooting in 3 or 4 years, and I remember all IRQs being
available to the PNP items unless they were specifically marked as
legacy.

Have you tried different slot on the motherboard so as to change the

I
have a
couple of HP DX5000 series systems with Adaptec RAID controllers
in
them. I
attempted to install a LINKSYS WMP300n controller, and the system
locks
regularly. Once I remove the WMP300n, everything works fine. I
temporarily
have them hard-wired and using a USB NIC. Linksys said it is
probably
an
Interupt conflict. I found that if I disable the internal SATA,
that
everything works, but the RAID controller doesn't support the
CD-ROM,
and
with the internal SATA disabled, I don't have a CD. I've tried
the
latest
Linksys drivers. Has anyone else seen anything like this?
