Yes, the PCs are different in BIOS brand and motherboare.
Yes, the following is the reply from Proxim support :
"KC -
Well it seems that you have done everything correctly. So these are
the 2 possible reasons as to why the pc card doesn't work:
1) Resource issue, yes even in these times computers can still have
IRQ sharing issues. To resolve, you can pull all unneccessary PCI
cards out and try all PCI slot until the adapter and cards works in
unisen.
2) Server 2003, I am not sure if our adapter and pc card was tested
in this environment. I don't believe the packaging even mentions Win
2003 Server."
