I have an old IBM Thinkpad 365XD that I recently upgraded (added RAM, larger
hard drive and Windows 98SE). I have tried intstalling two different 16-Bit
WLAN cards (D-Link DWL-650). For both I get a "Code 10" in Device Manager.
I have tried removing and reinstalling each card and have downloaded the
latest driver from the manufacturer, but I still have the same problem.
Anyone know hoe I can troubleshoot this?
Thanks,
Sawyer

Try going to DriverGuide and get an older driver.(sometimes newer is not
better)

Unfortunately they only have the new driver available. Do you know if any
other sources?
Thanks

Not sure if this will help - on my Thinkpad I had to enable cardbus
support (using the Thinkpad configuration utility program) before a
3com WLAN card was recognised (but I can't remember if it was a Code
10 error)
