Hello,

I bought an HP USB/Firewire combo adapter for my notebook, a sony vaio. It installed fine, and even works, USB ports work atleast. But as soon as I plug it into the slot, my wifi connection bottoms out and my mouse starts spazzing out every few seconds. I also noticed that in device manager the HP card comes up as a 1394 network adapter, other than that, there are no other known conflicts in my list. Any thoughts on what this could be?
I'm stumped and I've always thought of myself as moderately pc inclined.:4-don
tkno
And I have XP sp1
