card is properly recognized in the Windows operating system.
Reload the driver if necessary.
• Try to install the driver in different CardBus PC card slot on
your Windows NT system if it's available.
• The access point may not be powered on.
• The access point and the PC card are not configured with the
same wireless parameters. Check into the SSID, Turbo mode
option and WEP encryption settings.
• The access point may be out of range. Try moving the system
closer to the access point or readjusting the antenna on the
access point. You may also move the access point to a higher

parameters are all configured correctly.
