- Is the card Orinoco or Dell branded (unfortunately this *does* make a difference)? - Do you have an install CD for the card?
I installed an Avaya branded card on a Dell Inspiron just a couple of days ago. There was no specific ME driver for it, so I used the Win 98 driver (as advised in their FAQ). Specifically, what I did was: 1. Installed Avaya Client Manager 2. Inserted my silver card 3. *Stupidly* Tried to persuade Windows to use an Orinoco driver when it couldn't find a correct driver itself (this does work with XP however). 4. Wised up and told Windows to use Avaya 98 driver (that I copied from the Avaya CD). 5. Finally surfed wirelessly :) If you don't have a CD or want to check for more up to date drivers, check out the Orinoco <http://www.orinocowireless.com/template.html?section=m52&envelope=90> or Dell <http://support.dell.com/us/en/filelib/> sites.

My plan is to put Linux on it soon, but I thought I could try this wireless stuff under WinME. I loaded the software - I think following the sparse notes included with it, and when I insert the card, the system detects the card, but it can't find a driver for it. Now, when I install the silver card, it is not prompting me. When I install the gold card, it does prompt me, then it searches the whole CD, but does not find anything Any suggestions appreciated.
