Wireless network card in an HP notebook

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless (More info?)

I have just moved from an IBM laptop to an HP Compaq Presario 700 and I cant
get the power light to come on much less be recognized by the system. I hear
the tone windows gives when it senses a new piece of hardware installed but I
can't find it, activate it or install it. I have misplaced the install disc
but have found the drivers and downloaded them. I simply can't find it in
windows to even install the drivers???
Any ideas?

Hey Mark, thanks for the response. The card is a " Network Everywhere"
wireless notebook adapter, not built in but a removeable card, 802.11b, (not
"g" ) Mhz. I'll try what you suggested, I'm game for anything I'm teased by
the wireless on my other laptop and this "cat 5, umbilical cord".
I'll let you know.
