Hello,
Which motherboard you have? What chipset is on the board? It may require a BIOS update or the device may simply consume too much power for your USB controller, depending on how populated the controller is. If you had a powered external USB hub, this could be used to diagnose.

I had the same problem with WL-167G.. after a while my PC frozen. I treid to disable a few services but nothing changes. I have a MSI KT333 motherboard VIA KT333 Chipset.

I found a solution. Use the wireless adapter with an USB hub. Works perfect! hope this will work for you also . good luck
