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:
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 Mini-PCI
, 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 Mini-PCI.
You will find
the
WLAN 11Mbps Mini-PCI
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 Mini-PCI 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.
In Windows 2000:
1.
Check the
Windows 2000 Diagnostics.
See if there is any conflict in the
resource
allocation or
the
I/O
Address, IRQ
allocations. If you find that the
IRQ
or
I/O Addresses
are already assigned
to some other devices, you must change that value.
I/O Address
needs 40h byte length.
2.
Go to the
Control panel.
Double click on the
PCMCIA Card
and
you will see
WLAN Mini-PCI.
Double clicking on that will show you the
Card Information,
driver name and the driver
file.
You
must confirm the name of the driver and the driver file as
"prismnic.inf"
and
"prismnds.sys".
If
you do not find the names listed above, there are some problems and the driver is not installed
properly. Reinstall the driver.
Note:
Check the PnP BIOS setup menu and select
no
in case of the
WLAN Mini-PCI
installation.
