Wireless broken after updates downloaded (Marvell Libertas)

I installed an Airnet AWD154 PCI wireless card in my Vista test box and was
pleasantly surprised to find it auto-detected and installed drivers for it
as a "Marvell Libertas 802.11b/g" wireless card. I couldn't make it work
with SSID broadcast disabled and WPA-PSK encryption, but it worked fine when
the network was open/unencrypted/broadcasting. Got Vista activated, and it
identified a handful of updates it wanted, downloaded and installed, and
rebooted.

After the reboot, I had no wireless and the Marvell adapter status was "The
device cannot start (code 10)". Rebooted again, no change.

So I used the CD that came with the card and updated the driver for the
non-starting device with the XP driver. Now it will tell me that "wireless
networks are available" even though there is no tray icon for the wireless
card. Click "Connect To..." a Connect to Network window opens and is
completely white for about a minute before offering the list of wireless
networks. It lists the SSID I'm broadcasting so I know it can "hear", but
won't connect. "The wireless network does not match the capabilities of
your wireless hardware" or similar error. Network Connections says my
Wireless Network Connection is disabled. Device Manager says it is enabled.

At least I had a connection long enough to activate Vista...

If you click it in the connections settings window you can re-enable it. But
I'm going with you tried that. Your security settings are two levels deep,
especially for those who's wireless is a shared key. Instead of connecting
through the avilable network screen. Go to control panel>Network Center >
Reorder wireless networks. Click Add, Enter all the applicable information.
next, next close. Now open it again to set it to shared from open if
applicable.

Ideally, you should be able to click connect in the available network list
and get to add AND set it to shared, but that's not even available in Win
XP, you still have to get to settings to set up a shared key.

have fun

I had a similar problem, but mine is more simple and I can't fix it.
I installed Vista, as soon as isntallation was finished Windows
installed my Encore Enlwgi-G adapter as Marvell Libertas b/g also. I
restarted the computer, and when it was on I had teh exact same error
with the network adapter (error 10: this device cannot start), so I
didn't get to activate Vista; I guess the error has nothing to do with
activation and updates. I tried installing the card's driver but it
didn't work. I didn't really understand what Randy Cragin says to do.
Can anyone guide me please?

I had the same exact problem. Try using the drivers for Rosewil
RNX-G300E located at 'Rosewill - Price, Quality, Services
(http://www.rosewill.com/download/sea...=2&product=935
After many hours of research I found these drivers to work w/Vist
100%. When installing, point Vista to new driver(32 or 64 bit). Vist
will give an error upon loading driver. Reboot and all is fine. Work
for Encore Wireless-G PCI adaptors. :-

I too encountered this problem on my new Acer Aspire M1100. I had
originally 2GB of RAM, and installed the Airnet card with no problems.
I then rebooted and installed an additional 1GB of RAM, and when aI
booted up again, the wireless card ceased functioning, (the same Error
10: device can't start). As soon as I removed the added RAM, the
wireless came back up...I've very puzzled by this! It seems as though I
can either have wireless networking, OR 3GB of RAM, but not both!
Anybody got any ideas? I've tried the Acer website without luck, and so
far searches of other sites haven't helped either...:cry:
