Solid performer by Linksys WPC11 LAVOD I bought a laptop Toshiba Tecra 780CDM go to Windows 98 SE. the network I have an Airport Express bridge to a Belkin 4-port router. after you install instructions and the software I got a few error messages that I was not more than 6 TCP / IP configurations, and no more than 4 PPP configurations. But to install software just worked fine. However, I could only connect to the AirPort base station, but could not access the Internet, but online. I called tech support and got a very courteous and knowledgeable staff for about 5 minutes (on a Sunday evening). He debugging facility, and agreed that the software was properly installed and the card worked properly. His diagnosis was that the card communicate with the base, but not with the router. He suggested I speak with Belkin so I called a friend who suggested that I open Device Manager and remove all network devices. When I restarted the computer, only 2 (on an original 6) is recognized by Windows, and installed two units. so I connected to the AirPort base station, and voila! Full connectivity and compatibility! I take off one star because the support was not able to correctly identify and fix the problem. otherwise, this is a great ticket, and you can find at a great price. 8 of 8 people found this review helpful.

How did you install it? did you get drivers on a disk with it, if so you must install the drivers first, so windows can find them when you plug it in, if you let windows install the drivers it will put the wrong ones in and the device is not recognised.
Uninstall it and start again.

Drivers first
Plug in last.

Microsoft includes generic USB 2.0 drivers in Win2K Service Pack 4. Install SP4 and do the "Update Drive" thing in Device manager for any legacy USB controllers that show up.
