I got a pcmcia combo USB+firewire card from geeks .com.
The card is apparently from "VIA"
The firewire ports seem to be working, but I have not been able to get the USb port s to work. When I plug in a flash USB drive, the flash drive's light does not turn on.
In device manager, I see addtional USB devices for the PCMCIA card, no error messages, but when I plug in thw flash drive, nothing happens. I tried updating the drivers for the new USB ports in my device manager (with the driver cd for the card in the cd drive)- it updated for one port, and for others it said, "no better drivers".
Is the card defective ?
I tried on another computer, same thing. The flash drive is working fine (tested on yet nother computer).
