After reformatting and reinstalling XP I did not get to installing the PCMCIA
wireless network card and software. My daughter just put it in and or course
it did not work. Later I successfully installed the software. But XP did
not find the network card when I installed it (which comes after installing
the software). I also tried new hardware detection wizard and it did not
find it either. I seem to recall that Windows has a feature that turns off
the automatic detection of a device if it was not installed properly the
first time. The PC card slot does work as my adaptor for the camera works
fine. I also verified on another computer that the network card works. It
installed and accessed the wireless just fine. The question is, how do I get
Windows to recognize the card in the slot?
 
Normally by uninstalling the drivers and the hardware...under device manager
and then rebooting and installing in the proper order this should correct
itself.
