Dimension 8400 w/ D-Link wireless network adapter?
Hi there!
I mounted a D-Link DWL-520+ wireless network adapter (PCI) in my new Dimension 8400 with Windows XP. It operates as it should, except when it comes to shut-down. The Dell does not do this cleanly and gives a blue-screen
message:
***Hardware Malfunction
Call your hardware vendor for support
NMI: Parity check / Memory Parity Error
***The System has Halted***
I then have to power down using the power-button.
The adapter have the latest driver from D-Link.
D-Link seems to recognize this problem with Compaq, but nothing about
Dell:

If anybody have this combination to work please let me know!
Regards / Ola

I'm afraid not...
D-Link recommends BIOS-upgrade or make the changes suggested for Compaq/HP, which of course are not available in the Dell...
Dell support offered no solution but to await a BIOS upgrade, I have A01 which seems to be the latest.
Regards,
Ola

this forum is terrible... there isnt any responses to anything and the mods dont give answers. I bought a d-link usb 802.11B it works alright. had no problems installing and only recently had one minor problem where i had to unplug and then plug it back in to get it going.
