Re: Ethernet - LAN card installation problems

system cannot see or use it and the problem is either with the
installation or possibly the bios on the motherboard. An operating system
can only use hardware that it can see and this is a function of the
motherboard.

have physically installed n reinstalled the card at least 4 times. And, if I
connect an ethernet cable to the RJ45 outlet, both lights (green n yellow) on
the back of the presummed installed card lit up.
So, moving to the BIOS. What would you propose I do?

Not even a yellow "?" mark in Dev Man (Unknown Device)? What happens if
you try another PCI slot?
Do you know the make/model of the motherboard? Is there perhaps a more
recent version of the bios you could install than your present version?
The bioses on my two main systems both allow me to enable/disable the
NIC(s) but in my cases these are built in and not added via a PCI slot.
Sorry I don't really know what more to suggest. Perhaps the next thing I
would try would be to see if the card is detected if inserted in to
another PC (no need for driver install, just is it seen in Dev Man?).
Best of luck,

You can check if your USB-to-LAN adapter is ASIX's solutions or not? If yes,
you can try to download the latest ASIX's USB-to-LAN stanard drivers from
ASIX's web site. All ASIX's USB-to-LAN drivers were qualified on ASIX's
USB-to-LAN demo boards with ASIX's default VID/PID. If these drivers couldn't
work with your USB-to-LAN adapter, you might need to contact the
manufacturer's support guys to get the correct driver. Hope this information
is helpful for you to solve your issue soon.
