code 10 on wireless card installation

Hello

On windows xp home edition, system, device manager, add
hardware wizard, the system acknowledges the installation
of my Netgear WG 511 wireless pc card but states "This
device cannot start. [Code 10]"

Is there something I need to re-configure with ?BIOS or
IRQ? [I just read about these terms.] I checked with the
manufacuter of the laptop, Toshiba, and affirmed my
adapter supports 32-bit cards.

Please .... HELP. I have been trying for weeks to work
this out. Thanks for you efforts.

Having exactly the same problem!

Installed MA301 Netgeard adapter. Drivers went in fine
but then get the useless code 10 message. I built a new
profile and disabled virtually all the other IRQ users.
That did not work.

I then made a list of all the IRQ's in use and manually
changed my BIOS to assign one I knew was not being used.
That did not work.

Now Im lost!

I have Radeon 9700Pro. Creative Audigy 2 and ASUS A7V8X mb

That's why there is that big red sticker on the WAG511 card wrapper that
says 'STOP -install software first!'

did you try uninstalling the driver, running setup from the latest
downloaded driver pak, and then inserting?

good luck.

I tried that on my MA301 but nothing works...did a clean
system restore to 3 days before I installed. Then put
card in, loaded from latest set of drivers and nothing.

Well, I can certainly relate to your frustration level. The returns dept. at
CompUSA knows me well now.

A couple of other observations -

- All the top consumer grade pc cards, that are A/B/G use the same Atheros
chipset, and essentially the same driver. Linksys, D-link, SMC, Actiontec.
I have had trouble with removing one, inserting the other and getting BSOD.

-The WAG54 and WAB netgear cards have a dynamic nature in the driver that
causes problems. If if detects WZC(ndisuio) running on XP, it won't load in
the profiles tab in the driver config.(and viceversa) if you start WZC after
the card is running and use a finder/sniffer app - ala Boingo - BSOD usually
happens.

I think all of these dual band cards are half baked and need more testing.
Now that the G spec is official, they are all rushing to market with new G
cards that suck.

good luck all
