Client Adapter Recognition Problems
Note This section does not apply to mini PCI cards.
If your client adapter is not being recognized by your computer’s PCMCIA adapter, check your
computer’s BIOS and make sure that the PC card controller mode is set to PCIC compatible.
Note A computer’s BIOS varies depending on the manufacturer. For support on BIOS-related
issues, consult your computer’s manufacturer.
Resolving Resource Conflicts
Note This section does not apply to the mini PCI cards.
If you encounter problems while installing your client adapter on a computer running a Windows
operating system, you may need to specify a different interrupt request (IRQ) or I/O range for the
adapter.
The default IRQ for the client adapter is IRQ 10, which may not work for all systems. Follow the steps
for your specific operating system to obtain an available IRQ.
During installation the adapter’s driver installation script scans for an unused I/O range. The installation
can fail if the I/O range found by the driver installation script is occupied by another device but not
reported by Windows. An I/O range might not be reported if a device is physically present in the system
but not enabled under Windows. Follow the steps for your specific operating system to obtain an
available I/O range.
