I am having a problem with the Linksys WPC54G wireless adapter. I used this
adapter for about 6 months on windows xp home edition without any problems.
After formatting my hard drive and trying to reinstall the card I have run
into problems. At first I tried it on WinXP home and that didn't work.
After I run the install it tells me the card isn't installed and I can
confirm this by going to the control panel and seeing the card is listed
under unknown devices as Network Controller. I also tried to install it on
WinXP pro and Windows 2000 and I received the same errors. This was all
done on the same notebook, which is a Compaq Presario 705us. I do not
understand this because when I downloaded the latest drivers and pointed to
their folder to find an appropriate driver it comes back and says windows
cannot find a compatible driver. I have the TI Cardbus adapter in my
computer, but it never gave me trouble before so I don't think it is the
problem now. Also, I tried to use the beta driver that linksys has if you
are using the Texas Instr. Cardbus controller. This did not work either.
It every case it has told me it cannot find a compatible driver, even when I
am pointing to the directory I know holds the driver(s) I downloaded.
Any help is appreciated,
