Hi,

I reinstalled Windows XP, dowloaded all the drivers but still my wireless
card (Intel Pro/7100) is not detected. All other devices (sound, graphics)
have reistalled fine.

How can I get my laptop to recognize that it has a card? Is it the location
of the driver? Should it be in system32/drivers?

Please save my life...

Are you sure this is an Intel Pro/7100?  I found an Intel Pro/2100 on

Hi
Make sure that you are ready with the correct most updated Drivers. Check
and delete, if you have already, a Ghost NIC installation.

If the working devices were recognised as Plug and Pray devices then
maybe your wireless card isn't Plug and Pray capable or is defective.
I have two supposedly identical devices, one is PNP, but an earlier one,
same model, isn't PNP.
Use one everything works fine, it autoconfigues itself with default,
working, settings.
The earlier one, I have to drive as a generic device, and put
everything in by hand.
That's why it's called Plug and Pray, fine when it works,
pain in the arse when it doesn't.
