Misplaced CD I have misplaced my cd for my linksys compact wireless-G usb adapter. I am wondering if there is a way to download the installation software from the internet without it?

The only downloads available at the Linksys site for the WUSB54GSC adapter are a user manual and a quick start guide. So I would have to say no.

the driver download is there

I don't think there is any speed boost

You can the software direct from Linksys here.

Just download and copy the file to a usb flash drive, or burn it onto a cd and you're good to go ;)

From the manufacturer's web-site:

http://support.linksys.com

enter 'WUSB54GC' and do a search.

Select 'downloads'.

you don't have the disk you say? download the driver here: http://www.linksysbycisco.com/US/en/support/WUSB54GSC/download. Just choose your usb adapter's hardware version (found at the back)
