After months of looking on the web and emailing D-Link, I'm now at the end
of my tether, and I think I've Googled myself into a coma with info about XP
and this problem, so I was wondering if one of you good people could shed
light on it.
The problem: When my PC boots up, the ADSL Link light on the modem will
start flashing, and I will then get a BSOD reporting a problem with
gaausb.sys. This happens about 1 in 3 bootups.
I've got a D-Link DSL-200 version A2.
ADSL with Zen.
PC setup: WinXP Pro, Mitac Laptop
Board: MiTAC 5a
BIOS: Insyde Software V1.07 01/28/2003
VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
VIA Rev 5 or later USB Universal Host Controller
VIA USB 2.0 Enhanced Host Controller
Looking at the list above, one root hub is carrying the mouse and modem, the
other, nothing. I've tried moving the D-Link to other USB slots too.
ADSL adaptor config:
Modulation: G.DMT (although mutlimode is set in config)
Driver version: 1.12.0019Q-A (AtmUsb)
Control Panel version 3.1.21.1
Dlink said they had a specific XP driver, but the link they sent me was
broken.
I think I once found a later driver, but that was for PPPoE, and we use
PPPoATM here in the UK.
Unless I can somehow load the driver for PPPoE and then change it to
PPPoA??? Can't see a way.
The version of gaausb.sys (adsl usb driver) on my machine is: 1.12.19.0
And is there a firmware update for this modem?
I'm fully patched on XP, and I've read:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=322205
and http://adsl.cutw.net/dlink-dsl200-probs.txt
When I submit the error report to MS, I get this page:
http://oca.microsoft.com/en/Response.asp?SID=77#top
I really can't think of anything to add: Various bits of system info are
pasted below. Any ideas would be really appreciated!
Oh, and to add insult to injury, I can't seem to completely remove the
driver, either. When I try to configure or uninstall it, I get:
"Unhandled exception. Error number 0x80020005 Description: Type Mismatch.
Setup will now terminate"
Same thing if I try and install over the top. I've tried their seperate
uninstaller, but it just says "your modem is removed, you may now reboot"
after about 1 millisecond and no disk activity. Of course,it's still there
after reboot!
And finally, I've crashed 3 times now with an NDIS.sys BSOD error, but I'm
pretty sure I might have been running Yahoopops at the time, but it doesn't
always happen when I run that app.
