The wireless LAN card does not work and this is probably caused by another installed
device.
Check that the wireless LAN card is not trying to use an I/O, IRQ, or memory
address used by another device in your computer.
To check the status of resources:
In Windows 2000, when inserting the wireless LAN card, I get a warning saying that
there are not enough free resources.
Restart the computer. Windows 2000 allocates resources dynamically and, if
possible, rearranges devices to free an IRQ.
Hardware
I am not sure if the wireless LAN card is working.
Check in the Monitor window that the wireless LAN card is working. You can
also check the Status page for the status of the connection.
There are no resource conflicts, but the wireless LAN card still does not work.
Check that the operating environment does not cause damage or interference to
the wireless LAN card. Detailed information on the operating environment can be
found in the chapter “Important safety information” on page 52.
Check that the wireless LAN card is properly inserted.
Run fault diagnosis tests on the Diagnostics page.
You can try to determine whether the problem lies with the computer or the
wireless LAN card by using the card in another available PC card slot, by installing
the card in another computer, or by using another wireless LAN card in the first
computer.
