Wireless Card going up and down

Cork Skate · 2009-04-26 19:04:48

I have a Realtek RTL8185 PCI/Cardbus 802.11g 54M Wireless LAN NIC in an PC (iSmart 2311) and i cannot connect to broadband for some reason. I can see the connections, select mine and have created a profile with WPA-PSK key and its all seems fine settings wise. It keeps trying to connect but drops off after 6-7 seconds…

I have a Realtek RTL8185 PCI/Cardbus 802.11g 54M Wireless LAN NIC in an PC (iSmart 2311) and i cannot connect to broadband for some reason.

I can see the connections, select mine and have created a profile with WPA-PSK key and its all seems fine settings wise. It keeps trying to connect but drops off after 6-7 seconds while trying to acquire an IP Address. Does anyone have any idea why this might be happening.

I have laptop that connects fine and another few laptops have all connected in the past as well so its not the broadband, its the PCI card/settings or whatever.
