Beta 2, looking for W-LAN drivers
 

I have been "fighting" with a Fujitsu-Siemens laptop, a Lifebook E4010D.

Since it has no internal Wlan card, I have been using a long time favorite,
the Orinoco (Lucent/Awaya) WaveLan Silver card, that works with "all OS's".

I'm currently using it now, on WinXP SP2, and it allso worked flawlessly with the Vista february CTP, using the builtin drivers.

But after ditching the old build, and cleaninstalling Beta 2, I have no wireless networking :confused:
When I tell it to search for non-installed hardware, I find the card, identified as Lucent,
and Vista finds me a compatible Orinoco driver, but when it tries to install,
I geta message that it cant find the files needed.

Anyone else who has seen this problem, or know where to find a Vista driver for this PCMCIA card ?

have you looked here?

I found a "sollution",
since I'm dualbooting with WinXPsp2, I pulled the driver from there, both the .sys and the .inf file,
and copied them into the \drivers and \inf folder of Vista.
Then when I installed the PCMCIA card again, it looked for the drivers, and found the XP ones,
and I was online :)

Next thing to do, was to activate, and check for updates
I then found a Vista update to my Orinoco card, and updated it, still no problems :)

well done, BC
