ethernet controller driver Acer TravelMate 4000LCi

[JHenderson]

I don't know if it is or not. I unistalled the Linksys card. The link you gave me is for my Linksys Wireless -N Card so i didn't install it.

[Broni]

No, the link I gave you is for Intel wireless LAN driver.
Check in Device Manager, if Linksys is still listed there.

[JHenderson]

Im sorry, I got confused running back an forth with a USB Stick with drivers on it. I thought you gave me a zipped folder and I got confused with the Linksys. I am so sorry. I am reinstalling driver right now, No in device manager its not still there. I will take phote of my ethernet drivers in my device manager if I continue to have this problem. I think the link you gave me should do it since you guys know what your talking about and I just pretend to. 

[Broni]

I am so sorry.

It's OK. Sometimes, I got confused too

Error installing the driver. I will take a picture with phone and upload it. I tried installing and uninstalling it several times. I got the crappy intel Proset program to install and load but the drivers themselves gave me an error upon installation. I am transferring some files and do not have bitpim loaded on my apple which I am talking to you from right now. Give me a few and I will attach the picture of the error message. I am about to just reinstall windows, delete the partition, and reinstall everything again. What do you think or you won't know until you see the error messages I guess. Either ways, thanks for putting up me and my crappy computer stuff. Your awesome Broni. A million thanks!

[Broni]

Yeah, I'd like to see that error. You can simply write it down.
Did you uninstall current Intel driver first, before installing new one?

[JHenderson]

Yes I believe I did. I tried it several times. Here is the pic.

Go to Device Manager>Network Adapters
What is exact name of that Intel adapter?
Then...
   1. Right click on that adapter and click on Properties.
   2. Under the Properties window click on Details tab and select Device Instance Path from the drop down box.
   3. You should see a code similar to this:

      PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_27DC&SUBSYS_30868086
      &REV_01\4&1E46F438&0&40F0
   4. Post back data in red, and green.

All I could find was device instance ID. No device instance path. It it has a yellow exclamation next to it so i tried to uninstall it and it wouldn't let me unitil I rebooted. What should I do from here?

[JHenderson]

Should  try to uninstall it and reinstall it from the files you gave me earlier or wait for your response?

[JHenderson]

the driver reinstall was missing the w22n51.sys. I got on intel and found the solution. I can't beleive it but I am responding on my acer with my internal LAN card as we speak with no BSOD's. YAY. BRONI YOU ARE AWESOME!I wonder why that file was missing from the driver folder and had to integrate that myself. Thank god it worked. Knocking on wood. Will let you know if BSOD comesback. AMAZING!

[JHenderson]

OK. So ijust got the BSOD AGAIN. its from that w22n51.sys -Address again. After everything looked great. SO, what to do now?

[JHenderson]

Info you requested is as follows: exact name is Inter(R) Pro/Wireless 2200BG Network Connection #2. Couldn't find devic Instance path but could find device instance ID as PCI\VEN_8086&DEV_4220&SUBSYS_27018086&rev_05. THis is harder that building my last computer. LOL! Thank god your here!

[Broni]

You know, that wireless chip may be simply failing. Try to reinstall the driver again, but, if it doesn't work, you may need to use an external card.

[JHenderson]

ok, the internal card is eeasy to access from too. Any recommendations of what I can buy to replace or just use up the pcmcia slot.
