D-Link wireless PCI needs rescan every boot

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless, microsoft.public.windowsxp.hardware (More info?)

Ok, I have the same hardware and I had the same problem. I solved the
"rescan" problem by: Control Panel > Internet Options > Connections >
Lan Settings > uncheck Automatically detect settings.

Now, if that helped, please tell me how to get WEP or WPA-PSK working
with the DI-624 and the DWL-G650.

Thanks for trying to help. It was already unchecked on the xp machine, so
no solution. As for WEP, it should be quite easy. I assume you have a
wireless broadband router. If so, look at these items:

Log onto your router and select WEP encryption, open system auth and 64 bit
encryption. Choose a 10 character key. You'll lose connection to the PC
until you open your PCI adapter utility (or Windows utility) to make the
same changes.

Advise: Use Windows to manage the wireless setting for the G650

Network Connections\Wireless nettwork connections\Wireless Networks

Check the box to have Windows manage the connection. Choose the setting to
match those of the router. Thats it.
