Troubleshooting

Common Installation Problems

Problems are often caused by conflicts with other devices installed in
the same computer, or software that has been configured incorrectly.
If you encounter a problem with the EZ Connect TURBO 11/22 Mbps
Auto-Sensing Wireless Adapters, use the following checklists to
identify and correct the problem.

• If your computer cannot find the EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card,

or the network driver does not install correctly, check the following
items before contacting SMC Technical Support

• Make sure the card is securely seated in the PCMCIA or PCI 

slot. Check for any hardware problems, such as physical 
damage to the card.

• Try the card in another PCMCIA or PCI slot. If this fails, test

the card in a completely different system or try using a 
second EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card in that particular 
slot.

• Check for resource conflicts

• Make sure your computer is using the latest BIOS available. 

Contact the manufacturer of the laptop, motherboard for 
information on updating the BIOS (e.g. – Dell, Toshiba, etc)

• If there are other network cards in the computer, they may 

be causing conflicts. Remove all other cards from the 
computer and test the EZ Connect TURBO Wireless Card 
separately.
