Hi My Pavillion Keeps On Rebooting With Blue Screen Of Death?

Friday, November 20th, 2009

Hi
My Pavillion keeps on rebooting with blue screen of death. The error is related to driver “w22n51.sys” with the error message DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL on the blue screen.
I have been hunting this bug for two days now. These are my observations.
It NEVER happens unless my wireless network is activated. Normal wired network does not cause it.
It typically happens when a Java application in a browser accesses the network.
It happens with 3 different versions of JREs.
It happens with IE6 and Firefox.
The w22n51.sys is a driver for the Intel Pro/wireless 2200BG card.
I have updated the driver from the CDROM version 8.0.11 to 8.0.12.20000.
Searching for drivers at other PC manufacturers always gives this version as the newest.
