[SOLVED] ieee 802.11g wireless cardbus pci\adapter

Dontais · 10-21-2007, 09:42 AM

I have been trying to figure this out but am kinda stumped it has that yellow thing next to it in the device manager I have tried to reinstall and have disabled the nvida onboard but still no luck.

the details of the drivers are:
Driver Publisher: marvell
Drive date: 2/22/2005
driver version 3.1.1.7

This started when I installed steam from valve so I uninstalled nothing then system restore to last week , still no success. I've been trying to search around for it but can't seem to fish anything out.

It was working fine till now , contemplating formating just to stop the headache but figured someone may have more experience with this card.

It's working and you have an error in Device Manager?

Dontais · 10-21-2007, 03:03 PM

It gives the cation thing in the device manager and says this: This device cannot start (code 10 )

**johnwill** · 10-22-2007, 03:07 PM

Can we have a screen shot of Device Manager showing all the stuff under Network adapters and encompassing that error device?

To post a screen shot of the active window, hold the Alt key and press the PrtScn key. Open the Windows PAINT application and Paste the screen shot. You can then use PAINT to trim to suit, and save it as a JPG format file. To upload it to TSG, open the full reply window and use the Manage Attachments button to upload it here.

I bought this same card and my laptop does not recognize it.

Nashda13, if you have an issue, please start a new thread to discuss it.

Here is an image as you requested of the device manager.

Actually, this is error code 12, which is a different error. It usually indicates an issue finding an IRQ from the BIOS. You're missing a bunch of drivers, did you install the chipset drivers first, then try the other drivers?

What kind of system is this? Make/model of the system and/or the motherboard? Have you tried to get an updated system BIOS?

Dontais · 10-25-2007, 07:26 PM

This is a customer built computer , I never even thought about the chipset drivers its not in my box but i'll download them. I'm using a soltek "Top mainboard" mobo , I'll download all the drivers first see if this works I'll post back the results. As for the bios I'm kinda confused , this is my parents computer and never looked at it before but says there is no bios :S . I wonder how they set this computer up with no bios >.> .

*Edit*

I updated the video card drivers and I checked the main drivers and everything else is installed except the web cam. I left a picture of what it currently looks like. And for the bios I'm not sure what I can do for it can't seem to find the company sites to download it Soltek sl-k8an2e-gr.

**johnwill** · 10-26-2007, 08:00 AM

There is no such thing as "no BIOS", it's the code that boots Windows (or other operating environments) in any computer. Have you tried the Soltek site for a BIOS update? I'd also download any updated chipset drivers.

For the NIC, I suggest doing this.

In Device Manager, View, Show Hidden Devices.

Uninstall anything related to the wireless NIC that shows up.

Reboot.

Install the wireless NIC drivers again.

This is kinda odd went to start checking everything for the drivers it started working soon as I turned the pc on after I got home from work. So... I think it fixed its self that sound od
