5. Troubleshooting  

           

If you encounter any problems during the installation, or to confirm that the WLAN 11Mbps device is 

installed properly, please read the following troubleshooting section. 

 
 
 

In Windows 98/ME:   
 
 

 

To check that the 

WLAN 11Mbps device

 is installed properly, please do the following: 

1. 

Go to 

START>SETTINGS>CONTROL PANEL>NETWORK.  

Choose the 

Configuration Tab

.  If you 

find the 

WLAN 11Mbps Adapter

, it means the card is installed properly. If you see the 

Yellow 

Question-mark (?)

 means the resources are conflicting. (Please read further in this section for 

solutions.) 

-or- 

2. 

Right click on 

My Computer 

and select 

Properties.  

Select the 

Device

 

Manager 

and click on the 

Network Adapter. 

You will find

 

the

 WLAN 11Mbps Adapter

 if it is installed successfully.  If you see the 

Yellow

 sign, the resources are

 

conflicting.  Click on the PCMCIA Card and then on the PCMCIA Card 

Service, you can see the

 

status of the PC card.  If there is a yellow sign either on the adapter or the PC 

card, please check the following. 

 

1. 

Check to see if your computer supports 

3.3V 

Card. 

2. 

Check to see if your computer has a free 

IRQ.  

If not, make an IRQ free by assigning the 

same IRQ to some devices, for example COM 1, COM 2 can be assigned the same IRQ 
values. 

3. 

Check that you have inserted the right card and have installed the proper driver.
