    Getting my wireless card up and going on XP.

    I bought this wireless B card of a guy on boards. I got my laptop
    today and slotted it in and ran the driver. It all went sweet but
    when the connection was created there was no mention of wireless
    anything! I seem to have made a connection with nothing and the
    laptop doesnt seem to recognise the card as a "Wireless card"
    and just calls it a 802.11 PC card. I cant right click and see availabe
    wireless networks or anything?

    My brother who usually does this stuff for me is away for 3 weeks :eek: :rolleyes:

    So im going to need help to get me lappy ag running :);)

    I bought a laptop in PC World recently and couldnt get my wireless connection working. After googling I found that the wireless radio has to be turned on every time I turned on the laptop. This is done on most laptops by pressing the Function key and F2 (or another F key) together. My F2 key has an icon on it which looks like a computer with radio signals.

    Hope this helps.
