CardBus Controller

[Guest]

Hi
I'm running WinXP on an Intel B815EFV motherboard with a Celeron 850 CPU and
389mb of ram.
I have a PCMCIA to PCI converter in my pc on witch I want to use the VodaCom
3G datacard. After inserting the datacard a Windows System Information window
pops up with the following message < The device "Ricoh R/RL/RT/RC/5C475(II),
R5C520 or Compatible CardBus Controller" has detected a CardBus card in its
slot, but the firmware on this system is not configured to allow the CardBus
controller to be run in CardBus mode. The operating system wil > What do I
need to do to fix this problem?

The software the came with the datacard does not pick up the new hardware.
The hardware is working fine, cause it tested fine on another computer.

Thanx

If the PCMCIA to PCI adapter correctly configured? Does the XP have the
correct drivers installed?

The message seems to indicate that the VodaCom 3G datacard is not PCMCIA
compatible. Cardbus and PCMCIA are two different techicnologies that happen
to use compatible slots/connections. It appears that you PCMCIA to PCI
adapter does not do Cardbus.
