Since I couldn't remember exactly what it was called I re-installed the
Ekahau s'ware. In the "Wireless Network Connections Properties" it is
listed as installing "Ekahau User Protocol Driver for NDIS6" and this is
what has caused me problems, even on uninstalling the Ekahau program
this driver is not removed but can be by using the uninstall function in
"Wireless Network Connections Properties".
