I have a Dell 8200 on which the Truemobile 1150 network card died

I installed an Intel ProSet wireless card which I rescued from a dead
HP laptop and downloaded the Intel drivers from the HP site.

Is there any reason why the Dell shouldn't see it as a network card?
It installed the drivers but the OS cant see that there is a network
card there

I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers and it still
wont work. The software loads properly but the computer still cant
see that there is any hardware there!

Does anyone have any ideas on this one please? There isnt any serious
possibility that HP adapted this card in some way when buying
quantities of them from whoever they buy them from is there?

I seem to recall a post elsewhere that involved the proset
and the problem was solved by getting the Dell driver rather
than the Intel one.

Many thanks for that, we hadnt realised that there was a Dell driver
for this device!

Sorry for that last message: Two things went wrong: Firstly the
lengthy Dell installation programs stopped abruptly at the end with a
message saying this computer didnt support this hardware.

Then, as I cant see any reason I shouldnt put my own network card in
my own computer, I tried installing the driver anyway. It then told me
that the 2200BG doesnt have the necessary drivers in the location
where I had put them.

Were these problems encountered in the other thread and does anyone
remember what cured these problems please?

Are you sure that Intel card works?
