Try reinstalling the drivers. The system is recognising the card but
can't find the drivers for it. Check the Device Manager, does this give
you any further clue as to the possible cause of the problem?

I've got a Dell Inspiron 8000 laptop running Windows ME and I have
trouble getting a Level One WPC-0100 11Mbps Wireless PCMCIA Adapter
(LAN) to
be recognised.
I have successfully installed IEEE 802.11b WPC Utility according to
step 1-3 in the PCMCIA Card Installation Process leaflet that came
with the card.
When I insert the card the little green light on the device comes on.
In step 4 of the Installation Process it says "Operation System will
detect new device and search driver automatically". But nothing seems
to happen.
When I select the "Eject and Unplug Hardware" Symbol from the toolbar
at
the bottom of my screen it lists under Hardware devices only one
"unknown device". At the bottom of the Unplug and Eject Hardware
window it says "Unknown device at Location 1 on Texas Instruments
PCI-4451 CardBus
Controller (not as indicated in one of the screen grabs in the user's
manual on page 17 in the Additional Note for Windows ME: "LevelOne
11Mbps
Wireless PCMCIA Adapter at Location 0 on 02Micro026812/6912 CardBus
Controller").
When I click on the desktop short-cut of the WPC Utility a little red
symbol appears in the toolbar at the bottom of the screen and if I
click on it the warning message IEEE 802.11b PCMCIA card is not ready.
When I click on PC Card in the Control Panel it says "Socket 1:
Empty" and "Socket 2: ". There's just an empty space where it
should read PCMCIA Adapter.
When I right click on My Computer and the properties I can't find a
Level WPC-0100 11Mbps Wireless PCMCIA Adapter either.
How do I remedy the situation?
