CReboot the machine by turning off the power and turning it back on again (cold boot). If the driver still fails to load, the cause is generally a resource conflict. Common causes of resource conflicts include sound systems, other PC Card adapters, and built in ROMs. The resources required for a PRO/100 CardBus adapter include a memory window (MEM keyword), an interrupt (INT keyword), and an I/O address (IOADDRESS keyword). The default settings are indicated below.

Review your computer documentation to determine what resources are available, or use a trial and error approach. The table on the next page shows a suggested trial and error sequence. If you use this method, be sure to add a memory exclusion from C000-DFFF to the EMM386.EXE line until a suitable memory location has been found. Then the memory exclusion can be reduced to a 4K window. Perform a cold boot between each trial to ensure that the PRO/100 CardBus adapter and PC Card sockets are completely reset.

When the PRO/100 CardBus adapter driver is loaded it either reads a configuration file or uses command line parameters to determine which resources it should use. See the list of driver types, driver file names, and configuration methods earlier in this chapter.

The default resources used by the PRO/100 CardBus adapter (except with the 32-bit ODI driver) when no other setting is stated are:

MEMORY

IOADDRESS (NDIS)
