I'm running the Linksys Wireless-G Notebook Adapter, Wireless
Network Monitor v3.1, for the Linksys WPC54G card. It ping
cisco every second (Out ICMP [8] Echo Request
localhost->www.cisco.com[198.133.219.25]; Owner: TCP/IP Kernal
Driver). If I turn off the monitor, I can no longer access
the internet. Before I poke another permanent hole in my
firewall for this ping, is there a way to operate the wireless
card without having this ping? As well, has any other WPC54G
user observed this ping?
Can I get some additional information?
1. Hardware version of the WPC54G card? It's on the serial
number sticker. v1.0 thru v7.0
No version designation beside any of the 3 bar codes, but beside
the model number WPC54G, it says version 3.1.
2. Any particular operating system? Your news header shows
G2/1.0 on a Pocket PC. What maker and model PDA? I'm
curious.
Hmm, that's odd. This is a laptop, Windows 2000 service pack 4.
3. What version driver are you using? Looks like every hardware
version has a somewhat different driver and "Network
Monitor" version.
To get the driver version, I went to:
Start -> Settings -> NetworkAndDialupConnections ->
LocalAreaConnect4 -> General(tab)
The topmost field is "Connecting using" and shows "Wireless-G
Notebook Adapter WPC54G V3 #2".
The [Un]Install/Properties buttons are grayed out because I'm
using a power user account, but clicking on Configure pops up a
window entitled "Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54G V3 #2
Properties" containing tabs "General", "Driver", and "Resources".
The Driver tab shows:
Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54G V3 #2
Driver Provider: The Linksys Group, Inc.
Driver Date: 18/02/2005
Driver Version: 3.100.64.0
Digital Signer: Not digitally signed
Clicking on Driver Details pops up a Drive File Details window
containing:
Wireless-G Notebook Adapter WPC54G V3 #2
Driver files: c:\WINNT\system32\DRIVERS\bcmwI5.sys
Provider: Broadcom Corporation
File versoin: 3.100.64.0 built by: WinDDK
Copyright: 1998-2005, Broadcom Corporation All Rights
Note that the "I" in bcmwI5" could be a captial "i", the number
"1", or the small "L" -- the file doesn't actually exist with the
path shown. The closes filename in that directory is
bcm42rly.sys.
I have a WPC54G version something in the office that I can try. I
hadn't seen this behavior, but then I wasn't looking for it.
I don't wanna offer suggestions until I get a clue as to the OS and
hardware version.
Any light that you can shed on it would be welcome. Thanks.
