I've got a Billion 7402W which I've been using for a good 12 months now over an ethernet connection.

It's never caused me any problems and works nicely with my Ukonline ADSL2+ connection. I've recently inherited a laptop from my father and I got a Netgear MA401 wireless pcmcia card from a friend this morning.

I was looking forward to using wireless but whenever I enabled Wireless on the Billion (Configuration/LAN/Wireless/WLAN Service/enable) and then hit "apply" the router resets within 20 seconds and when it comes back it's disabled wireless. I've tried this several times with the same results each time.

Is the router on it's last legs or am I missing something really obvious?
 
Have you updated to the lastest firmware? The wireless is flaky on the billion routers with the default firmware.
