3Com Wireless adapter not active
Hi
I have just installed Beta2 from my Action pack subscription on a Sony Vaio laptop. I am using a 3Com Office connect PC Card 3CRWE154G72 which was correctly identified and installed with an up to date driver from the internet search. Although the system lists the card when it is plugged in, there is no network activity showing on the card and no wireless networks can be found. I cannot therefore connect to my wireless network which is a little frustrating. Is this incompatible software or is it the driver. Or is it my wireless router causing a problem? (It is a 3Com Office connect router too, with the latest firmware updates, running WEP security). I have tried adding the network details manually but it will still not connect. As the lights on the card are always on in XP and not on at all in Vista I think it is likely to be a hardware or driver incompatibility. Can anyone help? Thanks if you can. John Wilson |

3Com Wireless adapter not active
SRA
Hi I had the same issue with same 3Com Wireless adapter last night. I worked with the problem 2 hours and then I think let me try this: I used my desktop PC where I make a image install with Nero and then burn an iso on a cd. And then I start my notebook (packardbell m5) when windows find new device I insert my cd with the drivers and JIPPI it worked. I am sure there is a better solution, but it worked for me. regards sra "JW" wrote: Hi I have just installed Beta2 from my Action pack subscription on a Sony Vaio laptop.
