Installing a wireless card

June 8, 2008

Hi -

I am helping a friend with a small problem, and I would appreciate

some help. He has an older Sony VAIO laptop and we are trying to

install an SMC PCMCIA card so that he can join a wireless network.

When we insert the card, Windows pops up and asks for a driver for a

newly discovered "PCI Network Controller". Pointing Windows to the

driver for the card does not work (eg. it does not think this is the

driver it is looking for).

I have long since stopped using W98, but I seem to remember having to

deal with this or a similar problem before, but the solution is

escaping me. For some reason, I suspect that the missing PCI Network

Controller Driver is a Windows driver, and can be found somewhere

else. Or there is some other solution...

Appreciate any help!

Re: Installing a wireless card

What model number and/or part number is the SMC wireless PCCard NIC?

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.searchCriteria&localeCode=EN_USA

Where are you directing it to find the Win98 driver?

If on a driver CD, are you directing it to the Win98 folder on the CD?

Re: Installing a wireless card

If Windows networking components haven't been previously installed then the

installation procedure is looking for the W98 installation CD.

Hey guys -

Thanks for your help. It is an SMC2535W. It does not ask specifically

for the Windows CD. The laptop doe snot have a CD drive, but it does

have the W98 install cab files on it. The screwy thing is that when I

point the driver request to the downloaded driver, it says that this

is not the right driver. Any further ideas / guidance?

I am going to try another card and see if that gets me anywhere.

Best regards,

Sorry - model number SMC 2635W.

The exact sequence is:

- insert PCMCIA card

- insert tone is played, light goes on card

- hardware wizard opens

- detects "PCI Network controller" and asks for driver

Might be related to a couple of fixes:

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=3D276602

however, the page has been moved or no longer directly offered

Others, Articles/KB: 295629, 280448

A search:

http://support.microsoft.com/search/default.aspx?query=98+pcmcia+issues&catalog=LCID%3D1033&spid=&mode=r&lsc=0

A Toshiba offered MS hotfix - 280448USA8.EXE [read the MS Article first if

you can find it - PCI.vxd update 11-28-00]:

***NOTE:

The driver you're attempting to install may actually be an installation,

check to see if it needs *run* rather than direction to the INF.

And there are times when a specific PCMCIA card will only work in one of the

slots, try moving the card to the other slot. Also ensure BIOS is set

properly.

There is also a key or two in the registry that might need checked.

Please go again to the support site I linked in my first reply:

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=downloads.searchCriteria&localeCode=EN_USA

Scroll down to

"STEP 1: Choose product Information"

Select Wireless for Category

Select SMC 2635W for Model number

Enter the Part Number next

"Where do I find my part number?"

http://www.smc.com/index.cfm?event=whereToFindPartNumber&localeCode=EN_USA

Then go to

"STEP 2 - What Would You Like To Download?"

Select "Driver", then select the operating system.

There are two possible part numbers and they take different drivers, one takes

version 1 and the other version 2, IF you have Win98SE.

If you have the original version of Win98 (Win98 First Edition), they do not list an

available driver for the card.

Which version of Win98 is being used by your friend?

How can I determine what version of Windows 95, 98, 98 Second Edition (SE), or Me I

have installed?

http://www.duxcw.com/digest/Howto/software/winver.htm

Click the Start button, select Run, and type the following and click OK:

winver

4.10.1998 is Win98 First Edition

4.10.2222A or B is Win98SE

Re: Installing a wireless card

The article is there, if you type the link correctly.

http://support.microsoft.com/?id=276602

You've gotten added a "3D" to the beginning, probably from copy/pasting from source

code of Quoted Printable.

I not sure the article is relevant at this point though....it hasn't been determined

if there is anything related to the card in Device Manager yet. So far it sounds

more like the wrong driver has been downloaded, or it is Win98FE and there is no

available driver.

Re: Installing a wireless card

Oh yeah, that was from a saved text from when I was running OEQuotefix and

likely quoted printable for here or one of the other forums, thanks for the

correction...

Yes, you're right, it hasn't been determined, just some info which MIGHT be

relevant. Didn't want to lose another querier without supplying at least

some possibly relevant info.....

| OK:

| winver

|

| 4.10.1998 is Win98 First Edition

| 4.10.2222A or B is Win98SE

VER does that...

C:\>VER

Windows 98 [Version 4.10.2222]

WINVER just opens up a GUI window titled "Windows" that just says

"Windows 98".

Re: Installing a wireless card

Thanks....I didn't have Win98 on, and didn't want to boot it just to check that.
