I use a Dell CPi laptop and a Netgear MA401 pcmcia wireless card. I ran windows 98SE on the laptop and connected no problem. I changed to xp and the card could not connect - system tray icon is red and ipconfig says message similar to above (this message is from windows 2000 which I'm also trying). I know the card is ok as it worked on 98SE and I've tried it with Knoppix. I've switched off router wep encryption, enabled ssid broadcast and stopped using access list - didnt help. Tried the Media Sensing registry change (on xp) - still didnt help. Tried the latest drivers from netgear but windows reckoned were no more recent than the ones installed. The machines BIOS revision is A05 which I think is the most recent.
Can anyone suggest my next move ?
