3com lan adapter working but connection manager can't see it??
Hi
I have a 3com 3CRDAG675 11a/b/g Wireless PCI adapter and Windows 98SE. The card and drivers are installed - System, Device Manager shows the card and says "This device is working properly". The light on the card flashes on and off in the correct sequence for "I'm on and working (but not sending data)". If I do "ipconfig", it has a system assigned IP - so Windows is seeing it. However, the 3com Lan Manager software you use to set up the connections for the wireless card says "Device not detected" - as do all the other utilities (I suspect a common mode failure - presume they are all going through a common point). I downloaded their "Connection Assistant" diagnostics utility and it told me everything was tickety boo :-( This is a problem because this Lan Manager software seems to be core to setting up working connections with the card. I'm wondering has anyone else seen this before and have any suggestions? I've been up and down the 3com support site and it's told me nothing. Unfortunately I can't register the product for direct email support cos its a loaner from a mate whilst I wait for my (different brand) card to make it out of the industrial dispute affecting the DHL shipment I've been told it is stuck in. Well worth the 30 bucks "next day delivery" shipping charge :-( My access point is 802.11g with WPA enabled, and the card has been assigned interrupt 10 - in case, these are relevant. Thanks for any suggestions. Doug |
