Need help making my Packard Bell PCI 2.2 compliant.
Award Modular BIOS v.4.51 PG
Packard Bell FR510 BIOS v.00.01.18 11/25/1998-ALADDIN5-2A5KKG5DC-00 MOBO S/N: E093026283 Model: 930/950 Chipset Ali M1541 (GVC) I have a PB running 160 MB RAM and Win 2k Pro SP4. I tried to install the Wireless PCI Adapter after the SW itself was installed (per the directions/manual), and upon reboot, the Hardware Found Wizard did NOT detect the new Card. I tried to manually install the card as well, but it is not listed even though I select the correct /drivers directory in which it resides. Based on the 930/950 manual, the PCI is only 2.1 Compliant, and Netgear requires 2.2 Compliance, and I assume this is why the Card isn't being recognized. Would an easy solution be to upgrade the motherboard to the next ATX iteration, I don't think updating the BIOS chip will have an affect, but it's hard to tell based on what I've read. Thanks for reading, I promised my 7 year old daughter that I'd have internet in her room on this PC, and she's starting to doubt dear old dad. |
