How to Disable Linksys PCMCIA Wireless Software
Windows XP users should use the wireless management software built in to the operating system whenever possible because the software provided with the Linksys PCMCIA card (and various other wireless cards) can cause conflicts with the operating system. These incompatibilities may produce errors and other network issues. To resolve such conflicts, you need to disable the Linksys wireless management software that is bundled with the wireless drivers on the product installation CD.
