On some computers, there is a keyboard shortcut to turn the wireless off and on. It may be Fn-F2 or Shift-F2. If you get an error message about the unit being turned off, try this.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great card, great drivers, December 12, 2005

This review is from: Intel PRO WIRELESS 2915ABG-802.11 A/B/G MPCI ( WM3B2915ABGNAX ) (Personal Computers)

I bought this card to replace a 2200BG in an Acer TCM300, and had no problems.

The drivers and utilities that Intel makes available are very robust, and are update on a regular basis; I would even dare say that you’ll get the best driver support, since it comes from the source itself, and there is not need to wait for the laptop vendor (or whoever) to slap their logo on the release and make it available to you.

However, you should keep up with the latest releases, especially if you are using it in a WPA/WPA2 environment, since there has been noticeable improvement with recent releases.

I installed it in a Dell Latitude: C400, Pentium III, Windows XP. A CD was supplied with the card; however, I used the latest software from Intel's website.
