Re: bsod on external aerial connection

Thanks for your reply. I already uninstalled the driver and re-installed it. It's a generic driver available for free download. Windows tells me that the driver is fine. When the LAN card is connected it works fine. It bsod's when I connect the aerial, i.e. when the computer is trying to connect to a wifi station via the aerial. It connects fine via the LAN card if I take the laptop within range.

Still it looks for me like a driver bug
(maybe, triggered by the firmware level problem, because of unusual signal conditions)

BSOD 0xa (a.k.a. "IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL") is a driver problem.
If you have the latest driver for your Agere device, there is
nothing else left to do, besides of dumping this wi-fi adapter and getting a new one.
If you feel lucky, call Agere's support - but they obviouly can claim
that something other is the culprit: Windows, or 3rd party
antivirus, or whatever.

Goog luck,

I've spent days trawling the Internet for help but have found nothing for my specific problem.
I have a laptop, Windows XP. USB connection to wireless LAN card, Lucent to N male of cable to external omni directional aerial picking up open wifi signal.
This configuration is about 6 years old and has worked well, mostly. I have had occassional BSOD's 0xa errors when there have been problems with the source signal and/or automatic downloads. Always resolved themselves if I took the laptop to a source close enough to use the internal wifi and downloaded the updates.
This time it's not working and every time I connect the aerial I get a bsod. This does not happen if I connect the wireless card without the aerial. I have replaced the lucent to N cable, re-installed the Agere driver, used ccleaner to clean up registry. Disc check shows \BOOTEX.LOG 1st allocation unit invalid. Truncated.
Temp file shows problem with \sysdata.xml
1000000a, 0x1c,0x0,0x80502CB7
I'm technically challenged - the above means little to me so if anyone can help please instruct me in enough detail.
Help gratefully received.
