Make sure you have all the registry entries correct as well, especially if you install a new driver. There is more to it than just copying over the prismnds.dll file. Your registry should have entries like this:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\Wireless-LAN_Adapter-5ABE]
"Dll"="NDIS.DLL"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="PRISM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\Wireless-LAN_Adapter-10FC]
"Dll"="NDIS.DLL"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="PRISM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\Wireless-LAN_Adapter-9081]
"Dll"="NDIS.DLL"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="PRISM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Drivers\PCMCIA\INTERSIL-PRISM_2_5_PCMCIA_ADAPTER-F429]
"Dll"="NDIS.DLL"
"Prefix"="NDS"
"Miniport"="PRISM"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\Cxport]
"NoIdleTimerReset"=dword:00000001
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISM]
"DisplayName"="Wireless Driver"
"Group"="NDIS"
"ImagePath"="PRISMNDS.dll"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISM\Linkage]
"Route"="PRISM1"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISM1]
"DisplayName"="Wireless PC Card"
"Group"="NDIS"
"ImagePath"="PRISMNDS.dll"
"PRISMIOC"="ILP1:"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Comm\PRISM1\Parms]
"BusNumber"=dword:00000000
"BusType"=dword:00000008
"InterruptNumber"=dword:00000003
"IoBaseAddress"=dword:00000300
"LoadFirmware"=dword:00000001
"PlatformId"=dword:00000000
Rich, can you please post that as an .reg file?
Or, if I just pasted it into notepad and saved it as a .reg would that work to click and import? I didn't add any of this to my NBP registry and all works, but there is a weird glitch that these entries may fix.
In any event it's nice to know that at least wpa is available to 4.x users. The contraining fact for me not using my hpc stuff lately has been the WEP issue. I'm tired of using my Atom netbook for RDP and so want to use my NBP/Chinese netbook for the job. Said Chinese netbooks still in the mail fyi Geek.
There's no comparison. RDP gives me access to a much faster and more stable machine from a lighter and cooler unit. Not to mention the instant feature.
thanks
