Reinstalled the drivers and software and nothing, plugged it into another usb port and it starts working instantly. 5 minutes later it stops working again, tried changing it back to the first usb port and nothing, then put it on a third usb port and it starts working again for 2 hours then it just quits again. The Warpia Wireless USB Display Adapter is based on Wisair's WSR601 single chip and Wisair's UltraSpeed technology, delivering the best combination of performance and cost.

Wireless USB is not common yet, but devices like the Wisair Wireless USB Module might bridge the gap between ubiquitous wired USB devices and their (upcoming) wireless USB counterparts. The goal is to turn USB 1.1 or 2.0 devices into a wireless USB device. There are drivers to install, but once that’s done, you have wireless USB communication. That’s the plan: we have not tried it for ourselves, yet.
This is a reference design from Wisair, to prove that its chips can get the job done. Wisair’s chip customers willbuy the chips and use or customize this design to build final products.

Ultrawideband developer Wisair said Wednesday that it has received WHQL certification from Microsoft for its software drivers, an important step toward making UWB a reality.
Wisair said earlier this month that its first customer will be Y-E Data, a Japanese developer that will sample its first product, a UWB wireless hub, this month. Products are scheduled for December.
(Editor’s Note: On Oct. 31, Y-E Data confirmed that it began shipping its UWB hub in Japan for an undisclosed price.)
Although the first UWB prototypes were shown at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas this past January, the UWB community is hoping to launch its wares at CES 2007 this coming January. A number of WiMedia companies promoting the Intel-led version of Wireless USB will appear at the CES show, including Intel plus partners Alereon, Artimi, Staccato and WiQuest, as well as OEMs Hewlett-Packard and NEC Electronics.
The addition of Windows Hardware Quality Certification from Microsoft means that Wisair’s products have been blessed with official approval from Microsoft, and can be added to its operating system. The certification applies to the wireless USB hub only, which now can be branded with a “Designed for Windows” logo.
“This certification came at an ideal time as several leading brands are slated to ship their first wireless hubs, containing our UWB chipsets, to the consumer market before the end of this year,” said
David Yaish, Wisair’s chief executive, in a statement. “Now these vendors can include the Windows certification on their product packaging.” Texas instruments mobile phones & portable devices driver.
“Y-E Data is to have a press event in Tokyo on Nov. 1,” a spokeswoman for Wisair said in an email. “They will have lots of good news to share… As for the samples, I think it is safe to say they are working.”

Gemtek has also announced a wireless USB dongle, the WUWBD-101, and demonstrated it at the recent Intel Developer Forum in Taipei, Taiwan using components from Alereon. A ship date has not been announced.
