Weird problem with 3COM wireless card

Hi,

I have a 3Com 3CRWE154G72 wireless card.
I am using windows 2000 and the latest drivers.
The card was working fine, and had now started to stop connecting to
networks.
If you scan, ti will find networks for about 1 min, then stops finding
any. It is impossible to connect to any.
I get code 10 errors once the device has stopped finding networks on
scanning.

I have tried driver reinstalls and reinstalling windows. No joy!

Any ideas!?

Thanks

Make sure all power management is disabled.
Scan computer for viruses and spyware.

Nothing on the scan.
Power management for the card is disabled - no joy!

Just to compound this, when I boot up, if I go to device manager, there
is no code 10 error on the wireless card.

Once it had stopped recognising networks (as I say, takes about a min)
then the code 10 error appears on the device.

I presume you followed the instructions, and installed the drivers
BEFORE installing the card? Apparently this often causes issues.

Also there are some comments about these cars on dslreports.com. A
google search for 3CRWE154G72 code 10 error might be instructive.

I have followed the instructions an dodne the things in order - been
burnt by that before (other devices in the past!).

I am beginning to wonder if the card has failed or if it is due to a
secruity update knackering the drivers - have tried to install it onto
a friends laptop that runs XP - same problem.

Tried google but all the responses are just the obvious things I have
already tried.

Will look on dslreports.com.

Thanks for your help
