Adapter Installation Problems
If your computer cannot find the Wireless PCI Adapter, or the
network driver does not install correctly, check the following:
• Make sure the adapter is securely seated in the PCI slot.
Check for any hardware problems, such as physical damage
to the card’s connector.
• Try the card in another PCI slot. If this also fails, test your
computer with another PCI adapter that is known to operate
correctly.
• Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS.
• If there are other network adapters in the computer, they may
be causing conflicts. Remove other adapters from the
computer and test the wireless adapter separately.
• Check for a defective computer or PC connection by trying the
adapter in another computer that is known to operate
correctly.
