I think you should be dealing with Linksys tech support since it is their
hardware causing the problem--the adapter may even be faulty.

Hi all,
I have a PCMCIA card (WPC54G v3 linksys wireless-G notebook adapter) used
for my internet connection. I have a dual core processor with Windows XP
sp2 uptodate. I installed my wireless adapter on the notebook and got
internet connection easily. But the CPU usage showed by the task manager
was indicating me 50% (one of the two processors used all the time),
while, at the same time the idle process was using 99% of the CPU.
Googleing across the web, I downloaded "Process Explorer" which is like
the taks manager, but with a little more details. It showed me that most
of the CPU usage came from hardware interrupts. As a matter of fact, when
I take off my network wireless adapter, the CPU usage drops down to almost
0%. And when I put it back, the problem comes back.
Googleing into this a little bit more, I see that disabling peripherals
one by one would pinpoint me the culprit. As I know it is related to my
adapter, I sucessively disabled all peripherals linked with the adapter. I
even disabled the hidden peripherals. But the problem stayed. once all my
peripherals were disabled, I shutdown my computer and when it came up, of
course, the problem was gone. There is around 10 peripherals related with
the adapter, and disabling/enabling a peripheral takes some time. If in
addition to that I have to do a power off power on each time I test a
peripheral, it will take me hours. Would you have any hint on this ? Any
tool that could help and go into more details into the hardware interrupts
? Any method to track this problem down would be much appreciated.
Of course, I forgot to say I have updated all the drivers from linksys
website. And I also tryied to disable all the running services I could,
but none of the stopped services could stop the hardware interrupts
problem.
Alexandre.
