The zd1211rw does not work with the Shuttle PN15G (D-Link Corp. WL54).
After the driver fails it also break the device for my windows XP
install.
To get it back in working order I have to physically re-plug it while
windows is running, this is pretty annoying as the PN15G is meant to be,
and is, built inside my shuttle box.

I tried another device that uses the same driver, the ZyAIR G-220, and
it works like a charm.

- Is there a way to get the Shuttle PN15G working ?
- Can prevent the driver from breaking my device, so it will remain
working under windows XP.
