So, it's started misbehaving again. It seems to only be particularly bad when attempting to do higher bandwidth things, notably playing Champions Online. Not as in, the server has connection issues, as in, I try to connect to the game, and suddenly everything else starts slowing down and...

Ok, weirder new things: I finally got the Linksys adapter properly installed without much incident. It still says there's no wireless networks, but hey, it's installed, right? Linksys support was, of course, no help whatsoever, but here's the weird thing: The problem is basically gone (it...
