RE: Security Update KB958644 broke my wireless NIC!

Uninstall the windows update KB958644 and your internet should start working.
I'm running the latest version of ZoneAlarm 7.0483.0 and that update broke
ZoneAlarm on my computer.

Background: 2.0GHz Celeron system with new virgin hard drive installed ±3-4
weeks ago, with new install of Windows XP Pro, the usual applications, and
all updates through and beyond SP3. Was working just fine, connecting to my
network and the Internet through a Linksys WUSB54GS USB wireless adapter --
until late last night when I installed the latest "emergency" Microsoft
critical security update (KB958644). Immediately after the security update,
Device Manager reported that the USB NIC failed to start or had stopped (i.e.
it wasn't "disabled").

I have tried unistalling all the Linksys drivers/software, then
re-installing with the latest available from their website, but each time,
the install stops with a message stating that "the name is already in use as
a service name or service display name. I also contacted Linksys online tech
support (again using another computer), and they advised me to check with
Microsoft. Found nothing in the MS Knowledge Base, and no other reports of
or solutions to similar problems, so here I am.

Has anyone out there experienced this problem? Any solutions?
