Update: In my previous post I said I tried another (2 actually) WaveLAN card on the PB. These were actually Avaya Gold cards. As far as I can remember, Windows XP has the drivers for WaveLAN cards built- in. Just slap in the card, XP installs the driver, and away you go. When I tested these Avaya cards on my son's XP laptop (I wanted to make sure they even worked), I had to go to Avaya to download the driver. I thought that was odd, because he had previously been using the 'WaveLAN' card that I had got to work on the PB. Something is not right. "Ok, then, whatever," I thought. "Forget that I had a WaveLAN card running in this thing. Lemme get this Avaya card to work now." In any case, I got the Avaya cards to work on the XP machine. I downloaded the Avaya 7.1 driver and installed it on the PB. When I insert the cards, "Avaya PC Card" appears on the desktop, but still nothing works. The setup wizard for the card doesn't detect the cards.
Oh, and here's a dumb question. I used Extension Manager to disable the Airport stuff. Was that a bad idea? Is that what's causing my problems with these Avaya cards now? I'm not at home or I would check myself. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice about my wireless woes? Thanks.
