Can I claim to have found the memory leak in the Intel Wireless drivers, first? :) I found it in late July.

The news of buggy drivers seems to be hitting the web more and I've noticed a lot more traffic in the past few days.

Here are some of the bigger name news places reporting about it now:

I've even noticed some hits from Intel's IP space visiting here.

Intel Wireless 10.5.1.57 drivers only download link - fixes the security issues out there

Updated drivers for the Intel Wireless 2200BG, 2915ABG, 3945ABG wireless chipsets.

It is a bit hard to find on Intel's site when I went looking for it but here is the direct link to the page. I don't know/don't think this includes the service that likes to leak memory like crazy so I suggest only using the bare drivers with the default XP support.

Anyone know of a Verizon phone that has Windows Mobile 2005 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack? The Motorola Q does not have it apparently.

The subject line says it all - I would like to be able to use and abuse the Exchange Push technology on the Verizon Wireless network. I know the Motorola Q is running Windows Mobile 2005 but everything I have read is that it doesn't include the Messaging and Security Feature Pack, which is required to get Exchange Push technology the right way.

Anyone know?

Intel's wireless driver component - S24EvMon.exe leaks memory - version 9 and version 10 of the 29xx/39xx wireless drivers

I don't know if I should call it a memory leak or a memory hog but either way, wireless drivers shouldn't be using 512MB of ram just for tracking events. No wonder performance suffers as the day progresses. For now, I am just going to strip the driver components to the bare minimum and see if S24EvMon.exe behaves better.
