you should try the manufacturers website for your updated driver, never ever
rely on windows update for hardware drivers !!

I'm beginning to think that manufacturers out of habit release hardware
which they know does not work. Over and over I buy something with a
problem, only to see a new driver that fixes the problem released
shortly thereafter.

I'd be willing to bet that some updates have become available since
2001 for your hardware. Google for TI 1410 cardbus and you are sure to
find something. Or go directly to http://www.driverguide.com .
