I bought 2 generic 802.11b cardbus cards. They are based on the
realtek 8180 chip. They worked fine the first time I installed them.
After a powerdown and restart they won't receive... either one! I'm
running winxp and doing a "repair" works, it picks up the new IP
address and it looks great... but won't receive any packets. One even
stops my Linksys router from transmitting, I have to reset the router.
Anyone have any ideas or is it just 2 bad cards at the same time?

I had a similar problem with Dlink cards and a Netgear router.
Flashing the router fixed it.
