proxim Orinoco wireless pc card

I have installed the drivers and everything else on the installation CD. The
computer keeps telling me the drivers are not installed. I am running Windows
xp Home addition. The wireless card is an Gold Orinoco 802.11b PC Card.
HELP!!!

Hi Don what drivers have you installed? Have you installed the ones for
Windows XP? Have you simply tried connecting your PC to the internet and
letting it find the drivers it needs? This has worked for me.

Thank you David for your reply
I installed the drivers from the installation CD. Then when I try use the
card it tells me the drivers are not installed. I have went to the
manufacters website and that was not help. The drivers were supposed to be
for xp

Hi
WOW the Orinoco Gold 802.11b, in its time use to be the best Wireless Card.
Log the Proxim Support and look for the drivers,

You have to create an account first.
Before you try to install the drivers again make sure that there is No Ghost
in the Device Manger, http://www.ezlan.net/faq#ghost

I have been using one of these in Windows XP Pro up until just a few months
ago. I was using the downloaded drivers by Microsoft. It worked well for me.
I haven't used the Orinoco drivers in years.
