Ok fellows I am stumped. I have a Netgear WG311 v1. which I recently installed into my newer PC. What happens is I phyically install it windows recognizes the card as Ethernet controllerand when I go to install the drivers it finds then and then right before it finishes it locks my computer up forcing a hard boot.

when rebooted it shows the card but the driver is not installed correctly and is useless. I have tried all the WG311 drivers. the 1.0/1.3 and the beta 1.5's to no avail same result. What confuses me is that it runs fine and installs fine on my older PC no problem.

Here's my specs...

CPU: Intel E6400 Core2Duo
Mobo: GigaByte GA-965P-S3
RAM: PNY DDR2 667
GFX: ATI X1900XT 512Mb
Sound: SB Audigy 2 ZS
WirelessNIC: NetGear WG311 v1 54Mbps

I am doing this on a fresh installation of Windows XP home. If anyone has any Ideas I am all ears...
