The laptop has wireless inbuilt but the dongle grabbed a driver from the internet.  Surely they can't be the same driver for both devices?  Stand by for another thrilling installment.  ;D

The dongle is identified by Device Manager as a network adaptor IS89C35 802.11bg WLAN USB Adaptor.  All was well this morning.   8-)

So no common link, ie drivers. I really don't know how to explain what happened then, Clive.

Patch Tuesday?  It downloaded a patch yesterday.  I really should disable automatic updates on that machine.

Let me put it this way. Before I allow an update, I image the OS drive in case it causes problems. :)
