just another persons waste of time
Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others,
are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.

.: boy, you stupid :.
So, I went to the Windows Update page and found that there was a new driver for my Linksys USB Network Adapter. I decided to install it. What a huge mistake.
First, I backed up my system, as I usually do. Next I went for the driver update. I then rebooted WascallyWabbit and found that I could no longer connect to my network.
Ok, just roll-back the driver. Nothing.
I then tried System Restore. Nada.
Alright, uninstall the hardware device, reboot and try again. Nope, still out in the dark.
I spent about fourty-five minutes playing this game until I found the right combination of things to do.
First you disconnect the hardware,
then you uninstall the device,
then you reboot with the device unplugged,
then you try plugging in the device,
nothing happens so you unplug and then plug the device back in
and, boom, it works.
Man, what a pain in the ass!
Note To Self: Don't update drivers unless something is wrong!
