linksys wireless-g notebook adapter

[person]

my computer does not detect a linksys wireless-g notebook adapter when its plugged into the PCMCIA slot

this is wat i did

1) Installed the disk that came with the adapter.
2) Plugged the adapter in, and it tells me that the adapter is not installed.
3) I tried restarting the computer to see if it detects it on a restart, still doesnt work.
4) Tried makng it detect the hardware from the "Add New Hardware" option in control panel.
5) I'm now officially out of ideas.

are you absolutely sure that your PCMCIA and the adapter itself are functional?

wait, so it didnt install at all? as in your device manager looks exactly the same whether u plug the card in or not?

i actually have the exact same problem. somehow i managed to connect to the internet with my laptop but in my system tray it says D-Link AirPlus no card found. i have no idea wat network i'm connected to, but it seems to be working very well. if u figure out the problem please post the answer or pm me.

yes

if it doesnt detect it at all, then that means something is wrong with either the adapter or the card, try to find a diferent pcmcia card and plug it in, then take the card and plug it in another laptop

what OS are you using?

and have you tried shutting off the laptop, plugging it in then starting it up again?
