Hi, does anyone knows how to disable the linksys wireless network monitor. This is because every time after I switch it to the XP Wireless Zero Configuration, the linksys monitor will automatically activate itself after reboot.

Also, I have another problem whereby I keep losing connection (mostly having problem connecting when my computer starts up) whenever I use the linksys wireless network monitor. The monitor (link information) shows that I cannot connect to the USB adapter. However the site survey screen shows my network as well as other networks in the area. This is why I prefer to use the XP one. I am using a Alcatel Speedtouch 570/570i router and a Linksys Wireless G USB Network adapter -- idiots18 brought to you by [link] ...
