Xbox hardware... why?

So I sat down to do some testing to try and work out what was wrong with the wireless networking.

[[The Wireless network adapter (WNA) has 4 states:
no light - not plugged in
red light - working but not connected to wireless network
green light - working, connected to wireless network
red flashing light - broken

1 Plug WNA into all three USB ports in turn on the Xbox. Indicator light defiantly stays off.
2 Plug WNA into Sue's PC - light goes red (which is good) and Windows tries to find the drivers to install for it
3 Plug WNA into all three USB ports in turn on the Xbox. Indicator light defiantly stays off.
4 Plug WNA into my laptop - light goes red, etc.
5 Plug into Xbox again and blasted thing starts working. Can I have the time I wasted back please?

Sue and I can now get down to some serious Carcassone and we are into our third game (which I am obviously going to win) when the Xbox Live network has an outage and we are kicked out of the game! Which means the licenses for the games have not been migrated from the old console to the new. Thanks, guys...
