I have had occasional trouble with the WNDA3100 product, as it keeps crashing and giving me a blue screen of death.
Here is some information from a prior crash.

The WNDA31.sys driver appears to be responsible, and the version for the software is 3.0.0.141.
However, when I try to update the driver, there are no changes at all even when I unplug the adapter and plug it back in, or follow instructions exactly. I get no errors while updating the driver, but when I check the utility, everything is exactly the same as before the update. There is no change. The driver is still 3.0.0.141, and the Smart Wireless Utility is still 3.0.0.1 instead of 3.0.0.2.
I think the driver may be as updated as can be, I'm not sure. I don't know how to stop the blue screens though. Any advice would be appreciated, thanks.
