All comments about prismsvr.exe:
Daniel B. This gets installed when using a Dell truemobile 1300 WLAN wireless card.
Michael can makes a system hang by cpu-load, I removed it and WLAN still works
Kevin part of dlink. seems to freeze windows xp sp2 at random times
Paul K. This process also relates to the 3com OfficeConnect Wireless Utility
Aaron Lawrence Used for various Wireless LAN cards. Now maintained by Conexant who make the chipset.  See also: Link
Verena H. It is also part of T-Sinus 154 data II driver prog. Error msg. says PRISM Profiles Server Module has encountered a problem... - if so, then router access is inhibited.
Jerry L. Showed up in msconfig after installing SBC DSL & 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG Wireless Modem/Router on my Windows XP SP2 system.
Brother Payne Same results as Michael (Kevin is correct IMHO)
Jim C. Part of Dell Mobile Wireless
Rafe for some reason i'm getting an error on start up from prismsvr.exe, but my wireless still works fine so doesn't seem to be essential
joseph Can be delted BUT only if you have the backup software just incase it stuffs up
joseph is a program for ANY wireless adapter connected
Jez is prismsvr.exe related to bearshare ?
Jos Klein Velderman Comes with the ST120G wireless USB adapter - it is called: PRISM profiles server module - only taking CPU and during time seems to slow down all processing - indeed, when killed, does not affect wireless communicating at all. I really do not know the purpose. Not documented either.
DiSiLLUSiON This is also a part of US Robotics WLAN set. Seems to give BSOD's at the most unoppertunate times.
Tom It seems to be related to Dells USB wireless, no desktop icons under a active directory setting.
Solkre Part of Dlink DWL-G120 software
Alan T file is part of the 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG install
Roger Installed in startup by SBC-Yahoo DSL software for 2Wire Wireless modem
steve failed on startup on Dell XPS400 pc with USB wireless lan (1450) card...lan works without it.
If it's from Conexant my speculation is that it is got spyware since it seems to serve no actual purpose. The real purpose is to send your data coming through the wireless modem to got via Rockwell any time it's desired. They do this with Bestdata Rockwell Conexant chipsets too. Yes they do.
JoshDestardi Shows up after installation of SBC/Yahoo highspeed internet
Billyray Like Alan T. says, but prismsvr is really only used by the 2wire wireless lan card utility. prismsvr will be loaded automatically by the utility when it is started, so it doesn't need to be loaded at system startup. Otherwise all wireless networking will work fine without it
Billyray Was installed with SBC-Yahoo wireless networking on both an XP and a Win 98 SE machine. I stopped the process permanently on the Win 98 SE machine with no effect at all on the wireless networking capabilities. This yielded a 2% gain in system resources according to system monitor.
Raik came with 3com WLAN USB adapter; freezes my winXP SP1 randomly; after removal everything is still up and running
Michael D. Showed up in msconfig after installing SBC DSL & 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG Wireless Modem/Router on my Windows XP SP2 system.
Night Hawk Programm für einen USB W-LAN Adapter. Ungefährlich
Larry W. Included in 2Wire Home Portal 1800 HG install and removal by ToolBarCop does not effect networking ability.
Alan Y Have installed both Dell and 3COM wireless cards, so could have come from either. Never spotted it as a process before, however killing it does not affect wireless. Seemed to be using a lot of CPU when killed
John this appeared after installing an Inventel UR054g (R01) USB wireless receiver. Now XP hangs occasionally but this could be related to me uninstalling avast anti-virus as well.
Nils redundant program for 2wire wireless if you run Windows XP; 2Wire tech support told me to uninstall and system runs fine
John W. On my Dell Latitude 800, on boot up, I get an application error from PRISMSVR.EXE and I close the application. I am using a 2wire link card which seems to work just fine.
Marchel Konniger belongs to Speedtouch 121G wireless USB monitor. Can be stopped from running without consequences for internetconnection.
Eric-Jan Installed Speedtouch ST120G wireless USB adapter. Everything fine. Afterwards installed Agnitum Security Suite Pro RC. And now I got an error from PRISMSVR at startup. But as stated by others everything seems to works fine.
jlshdfs Component used in combination with wireless receivers like Speedtouch 120G. Not dangerous. Probably not necessary when you have enabled zero wireless configuration service in Windows
its part of sbc\at&t installation to get dsl service to run. Keeping it from running under windows 98 can cause connection problems. some firewalls can promt you as to what to do when it is running. Suggestion: allow.
