Re: BUFFALO WLI-U2-KG54-AI USB adaptor stopped being 'recognized'

Thus it is begining to look as if I won't be able to reliably use the
laptop
on USB2 devices or devices that need more power than the minimum, unless I
buy another device that needs mains power. thereby nullifying the point of
the laptop in the first place...

Well, you could just buy a PCMCIA 802.11g wireless device instead of
messing with the USB problems.
