The rig I'm trying to install the PCI adapter is in my sig.
I have a linksys 802.11b/g router
I have another laptop wirelessly connected to the router and it works fine
the problem:
On the instruction manual, it tells me to plug in the PCI adapter, and the next time windows XP boots the new found hardware wizard will pop up and I could install the drivers from the CD.
But when I plugged the damn PCI adapter (Linksys 802.11g adapter) into a PCI slot and rebooted, the add new hardware wizard doesn't pop up, so I manually start it but it does not find the PCI adapter that's plugged into one of my 3 PCI slots.
At first I thought maybe I didn't plug it in completely, so I made sure of that and tried it with all 3 PCI slots, but windows still doesn't recognize the adapter?:wacko:
What could be the problem other than the fact that the PCI adapter could potentially be defective?:(
EDIT: :O I certainly hope my mobo's not defective now?:angry: :frusty:
