    Hi

    I have bought a Zepto 3215W from Denmark. I bought a intel 3945 wireless card mini pci express, and put it in laptop. I installed drivers for NIC but now device manager in Windows XP says: device can not start, error code 10. Switch on front is turned on.

    This is what i have tried:

    1: reinstall driver(it is the newest driver from intel website)
    2: unplugg card and put it in again
    3: installing windows from scratch
    4: installed Windows vista but still same error

    I have no advanced options in BIOS for some reasons. Zepto has told me that there is no way to activate those options. Does any of your guys know a solution for that matter?

    Is there someone who can tell me how to make NIC work?

    /Michael

    Just a guess: Is there more than one mini-PCI slot? The switch will only work with one of the slots, should there be more than one, so you need to use the right slot.

    check Zepto's ftp site for a bios update. There is more support for wireless in 1.15.

    I have put NIC in another pc, and the same problem occurs. I guess the NIC is malfunctioning.
