Hello,
I've recently run into a problem with connecting my usb wireless adapter. Every time that I try to connect it to my computer I will get a bsod within a minute or so after the driver has been installed. I've tried using the driver that windows installs automatically and I've tried using the one that is posted on the website as the most current and up to date one and I still have the same problem. I've ran chkdsk, did the defrag and ran some other clean up utilities and that did help everything run smoother but still no matter what I do, the system will crash when I connect the wireless adapter. When I can catch what file caused the bsod, I see one of two files responsible for the crash either athrusb.sys or nwifi.sys but most of the time it has been athrusb.sys
I've attached the only two dump files that I could find in the minidump folder. The adapter is a SMC Ez Connect g 802.11g wireless USB 2.0 adapter
Any help is greatly appreciated
Thanks
