Hey, ive got a fujitsu siemens s series lifebook, got it second hand a few months ago and its great, had no problems with it at all. I recently installed a home network, iv got a wirells router connected to my main pc and i bought a wirless card for my laptop and the network worked in a matter of seconds, it was working fine for a week, then suddenly, for no reason at all the wirless card stopped working, theres two lights one for 'power' and one for 'activity' and the powere light just keeps flashing as if theres some kind of power problem or something, i bought another pcmcia wireless card for it and it does exactly the same. i may try gettin a usb wireless dongle as my last attempt. but anyone out there who thinks ther may be able to help me, please be my guest

Many Thanks. Liam

Are you sure that the card is seated all the way into the slot?

Go into Device Manager and look for at your PCMCIA Adapters. Be sure that everything is funtioning as it should. Is the slot disabled? Is there a red "X" or a yellow exclamation point present? Does the "Device Status" indicate that everything is funtioning?

Hope this helps!
