[dba-Tech] Linksys WRT54G and D-Link DWL-520+ incompatibilitypuzlle...

I'm so paranoid/experianced since a year or 4 that I never install the
drivers included in the box.
Always download and update straigtaway....

Thanks, Erwin,

I've downloaded and installed drivers for D-Link for WinXP.
But I didn't yet download install latest firmware for WRT54G router - I
must say I'm a kind of "paranoid" to update firmware - as far as
understad this process can't be interrupted? If I get it interrupted
then I will get the device completely broken? Or using reset button
(well hidden/protected on back siide) I will be able to restore
(outdated) firmare and then try again to upgrade it?

TIA for additional info,
Shamil
