PCI wireless LAN card
I have been reinstalling the wireless LAN card into the pc we've started again with.
Card is a Safecom (Texas) SWLPT 54108 XP doesn't 'find new hardware' and the software won't load - a search on the web for this card shows that it has real problems with XP (do these companies ever talk to each other? :lol: ) Enough problems that I doubt I can get it working. Can anyone recommend a good make to buy as a replacement that will work with XP easily? tvm

I like Buffalo kit mainly for it's X platform compatibility, might be a good place to start, Don't know Windoze or PC well enough to make a proper fool proof reccomendation.
Good article. http://www.trustedreviews.com/article.aspx?art=1903 Manufacturers site http://www.buffalo-technology.com/buffalo-home.php |

I stopped using pci wireless cards a while back after finding a nice little USB wireless dongle on ebay for £11, although I assume your PC has a spare USB, and that your PC card was just acting as a receiver If its a main hub just ignore me

That sounds like a good offer from Yorki. Otherwise ASUS is a safe bet. Inexpensive, first class product. We use them at work (couple of years now) and no problems. Spôôk
