This isnt a major problem more an annoyance :)

As the wireless adapter is usb, down in the system try i have the "safely remove hardware" icon, is there any way to have the wireless enabled and not have it there? is there a setting in the BIOS so windows XP wont see it as a usb device? or some other way to remove the icon?

thanks

Pretty sure that icon is always there whenever there is a USB device connected that is hotpluggable. I've got it down there because of the USB cable that runs from my monitor.

Don't think there is any way of removing it as far as I know. Maybe worth trying XP Powertoys or something?
 
the wireless adapter on this board isnt like a usb device that you can unplug, its built onto the board so its not like you can remove the device,
in device manager it comes up as:
Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network adapter and on the asus or realtek website it does say something about it working as a USB device, cant find it at the moment as its nearly 1am :)
 
heh, thats what i'd read :) i know its only a little thing, it just bugs me to have an icon telling me i can safely remove something that i cant and dont want to remove :)

suppose i just gotta live with it :(

thanks for the replys :)
 
I had similar problems with initial drivers (as per CD) but managed to dig out replacement/updated ones and it has been more or less perfect since :)

TBH, similar problem with the DH Remote until I sourced version 1.00.29 software and that now works perfectly too :D

You also get this with proper hot-swappable SATA drives :) I had 4 of the things appearing when I had an SLI-DR using NVidias SATA drivers.

Where did you get the drivers from? I tried using the ones from relatek.tw but they do the same :-(

Get's very annoying

My drivers show as 5.1230.518.2006 in Device Manager......can't remember where I downloaded it from, but have them save - can email them if you like, but file size is around 6.4MB....... :eek:
 
I found the wireless rubbish, so I have uninstalled it and physically removed it from the board. I also find though that the onboard lans are not as good as other boards, i had in the past. :rolleyes:
