So, I ordered a linksys wireless card from amazon.co.uk .... a WPC54G v1.2 wireless card. I was using the same card before when I was in Trinidad but bought that one from Radioshack ... well, gave it to Amalia since I had no wireless here at the time. Well, anyway, I bought this card and it refuses to connect to the router ... can you imagine? I've installed, uninstalled, reinstalled ... complained to Linksys, gave me new instructions - combined the instructions in whatever which way it is possible and yet no action, no connection to the router! I am using a Netgear wireless card which I borrowed from the OU until I received this Linksys card and that was so easy to install ... no rebooting, no need to shut the computer down, and then turn it on with the card in the PCMCIA slot - nothing like that (never mind doing all that still doesn't make it work). Well, was checking the internet and there has been several complaints about this card ... arghhh ... wish I had checked that up before ... but I was using one before and never had any problems so didn't think this will be a problem ... besides the router is a Linksys so, thought why not get a card that is from the same company hence it should have better connectivity ... boy, was I wrong!!!

I seriously considering sending it back but if I do that it looks like almost 2-4 weeks before I get a refund and a new card and this time (well unless I get it miraculously working), I'm going for Netgear ... I was thinking of getting a 3Com since there is no need to take it out the PCMCIA slot when you're packing up your laptop (Ritch has that one) ... but thinking of sticking with what I know will work at the moment.
