Dell 4700 not recognizing Linksys PCI B Adapter
I just purchased a 4700 and transferred a working Linksys WMP11 PCI card to it but the 4700 will not recognize it.
The card lights up, but is not discovered by the New Hardware Wizard.
When I purchased the system I mistakenly ordered a true mobile "G" USB adapter (wanted a PCI) so I decided to keep in the box and use the PCI card.
There were drivers installed in XP SP2 but I uninstalled an ran the command line TCP IP network reset utility referred to elsewhere on this board.
I have the built in 10/100 ethernet card working fine but really prefer wireless so I dont have a cable running across the floor
Help is appreciated.

Greetings,
I am having the same issue with a Netgear MA111. Works fine in my Dell Latitude (XP only) but crashes my Dimension 4700C (XPSP2). I found the reason on the Netgear Support Page. This is a good solution for those that don't have SP2 preloaded on their machine, which I am not one.
I have written to NetGear for the firmware upgrade. I have a feeling that will be a long and arduous process. :smileysad:
You may find the same info for your Lynksis at techsupportforum.com. That is where I found me solution for the NetGear issue.
Cheers,
kmraj

What wireless adapters does Dell recommend? I am willing to purchase another.
