At work, I am trying to install a wireless PC Card on an old (2003)-era Pentium 4 Dell laptop. It has a volume license (educational) copy of XP Pro with Service Pack 2.
The device is a Netgear WPNT511 802.11g CardBus device, and the PCMCIA controller is an integrated Texas Instruments PCI-4510.
I am encountering a problem with the install exactly like the one entailed by this MSKB article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310772
I.e., the device manager displays a 'This device cannot find enough free resources that it can use. (Code 12)' error message. Windows simply does not assign an IRQ to the CardBus device. It is also surprisingly similar to the Windows 2000 error here, addressed towards my particular type of PCMCIA controller:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/304688
This should have been addressed with SP1, not to mention SP2, but, since I have only recently started to work on this computer, I don't know what anyone else has done to the system files.
I am wondering if anyone would be willing to send me a copy of their PCMCIA.sys, or know a place to download PCMCIA.sys of version 5.1.2600.17; my current version is 5.1.2600.2180, but it is displaying the same old problem. It is normally located in the X:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS directory, where X is your XP boot partition.
Thanks much. And also, if anyone has any other ideas as to what may be going on, please feel free to help.
