| How about a cold reset. Then install the Agere driver, and then insert the wifi card and point it to the correct driver...

| Nice, its 73 degrees today (thats 22.7c for the over the puddle folks ), I took the motorcycle to work. Its a beautiful thing. 6$ to fill the gas tank.
So, the Reset Didn't work. It didn't give me the opportunity to choose a driver, is there a way to reassociate a driver?

| I assume you've tried the card and it still doesn't connect. (For whatever reason, most Agere-based cards seem to be auto-recognized upon insertion, so the device doesn't ask for a driver. ) Oh, and another question: How long did you leave the main and backup batteries out of the 900C? I had to leave mine out for several hours the last time I tried, before it fully cleared everything from RAM.  Edited by CE Geek 2008-03-14 12:40 PM

| yeah. Once in a blue moon, I can connect to the internet. If I keep searching google, it will eventually give me results instead of "Page cannot be displayed". The current drive doesn't keep it connected. |

the reason is simple, the agere driver installs many known pnpid's in the registry. |
