3Com 3CRWE62092A Wireless LAN PC Card Driver Reviews

strength of the link and link quality. And you can even switch between

networks. But it is the only card I have never managed to get to connect

to the Internet. And it has an internal diagnostic utility which doesn't

allow you to do much but which has never shown it working, even when it is

showing a good link quality and signal strength!

On any computer I have ever installed it on, either XP or 98. (I need hardly add that

whenever I have had this problem, I have always connected some alternative

NIC and they have inevitably worked immediately and without either problems

or configuration issues)

So this file is a 500 kb update to the file which device manager seems to

think it doesn't need. Obviously when I can't get the card to work, I update

the driver. On no computer has that ever made the slightest difference.

There is also a firmware update (contained in this zip file) which does nothing.

PLEASE NOTE THAT MY COMMENTS MAY WELL BE ABOUT THE COMPANY AND NOT THE DRIVER: 3Com seems to be the only NIC company which couldn't care less about

supporting its products and has actively refused to assist. Has anyone else

had these problems with either this company or this card OR found that

uninstalling the whole shooting match and installing some generic scanner

does the job if you can get the 3com card drivers themselves installed?

Just out of interest, I may try to reinstall this driver a few times again and re-post if I can ever get it to work or get 3Com's cooperation in showing me the quirks of their product which are causing the problems I am having: I am not suggesting that everyone will have these problems with this driver.
