I recently swapped the wireless and wired pcmcia cards around in their slots
on my laptop so that I could get to the wired dongle easier as it was
originally underneath the wireless aerial. When I swapped them around they
decided to re-install new devices from scratch and I thought nothing of this
until I tried to connect to the other PC on my network and browse the web
through ICS. For some reason the wired card which was manually set to
192.168.0.1 gained a new address and the card was called "original card
name" #2, likewise for the wireless card which now has #2 after it as well.
After a lot of digging around I changed the IP of the wired card back to
what it was and everything started working as it should, however I'd like to
clean the installation up a bit and remove the duplicate hardware entries. I
can't seem to find them in the device manager, and if selecting 'show hidden
devices' and then removing them from that list is the way to do it it won't
allow me as apparently 'the device might be required for the PC to boot'.
How do I get around this?
