Setup does not recognize my wireless PCI adapter.

The following troubleshooting steps will help you track down and solve the problem.

OVerify that the status light is illuminated. Make sure that the status light labeled “Wireless” on your PCI adapter is illuminated to indicate that the adapter is receiving power and that the network has recognized and acknowledged the adapter.

Check to make sure that your adapter, broadband modem, base station, and other networking devices are receiving power by inspecting the appropriate status lights.

OMake sure that your PCI adapter is correctly installed. Verify that the PCI adapter is firmly connected to the PCI slot in your computer. A partially connected PCI adapter might cause your computer either to not turn on or to function incorrectly.

If the adapter seems to be installed correctly but is still not working, and you have another available PCI slot in your computer, try moving the PCI adapter to that slot.

OMake sure that all cables are securely connected. Check to see that the cables in your network are securely connected to the correct ports. Check all power cables and the Ethernet cables between the broadband modem and your network.

Check the setup instructions for your broadband modem to make sure that you are using the correct type of Ethernet cable to connect to your modem, either straight- through or crossover. See the network device documentation for more information about which cable type to use.
