I confirm the problem, using a U.S. Robotics 139106 router and a U.S.
Robotics 805416 PCI Wireless Card on a Windows XP SP2 computer.

Conflicts on system startup between new driver and F-Secure antivirus;
F-Secure startup hangs, system seems to freeze for two-three minutes
(not all kind of operations are possible): then, F-Secure regularly
completes startup and wireless connection is operative.

Operative system and antivirus software are updated with latest
patches; I tried to exclude drivers file and directories from
antivirus check, but anything change.

Absolutely no problems with drivers previous versions.
But this is the only driver version enabling WPA encryption on
805416!!!

Hoping on a new release...
