Trying to go wireless - Ethernet Controller problem

Matt783 · 07-15-2008, 03:48 PM

Hi there.

I have an Advent 5301 laptop with Vista.

Currently connected to broadband via virgin adsl with modem.

Have been given a Linksys wireless-G WGKPC354G-UK kit

Tried to connect it all as per instructions but Ethernet Controller in Device Manager has the yellow triangle and says this device cannot start.

The driver is installed ( have removed and reinstalled too) its an SiS191.

If i 'view problem details' it says the following:
Windows was able to successfully install device driver software, but the driver software encountered a problem when it tried to run. The problem code is 10.

I don't know what else to try. I thought it was going to be simple

Hope someone can help.

Matt
