"in XP sp2 works excellent as long as you use the Cisco Utility to configure the device, NOT a 3rd party (Windows) to do so. Used in the PCI card version of the device."

"Installed on a old celeron laptop running 2000 pro and is working better with our 2wire (uverse) router than the pcmcia adapter that they gave us (also 2wire). Didn't detect what sort of encryption the AP had, but was very easy to do and connected instantly.

peace"

"Your not wrong when you say these drivers are difficult to obtain. Been looking for them for about 8months. Thanks for whoever posted them here. Installed the cardbus, driver only and presto, wlan access."

  1. Locate the device and model that is having the issue and double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.

  2. Select the Driver tab.

  3. Click the Update Driver button and follow the instructions.

In most cases, you will need to reboot your computer in order for the driver update to take effect.

Tech Tip: Driver downloads and updates come in a variety of file formats with different file extensions. For example, you may have downloaded an EXE, INF, ZIP, or SYS file. Each file type has a slighty different installation procedure to follow.
