If the card does not function properly, check Device

Manager for conflicts with other devices and drivers.

1. Right click my computer, Properties then

Device Manager Tab. Click the Network

Adapters to verify the status of the

BreezeCOM DS.11 PC card wireless LAN

adapter. An exclamation mark next to the card

indicates a conflict.

In the event you have a Resource Conflict do the

following:

1. Double click on the BreezeCOM Wireless LAN

adapter.

2. Select Resources tab.

3. In the event that conflicting resources are

listed in "Conflicting device list", edit the

Memory Range and Interrupt to values that do

not cause conflicts.

If you don't have resource conflict and the card still

doesn't work there might be a conflict with DOS drivers

that Windows doesn't recognize.

1. Look for device drivers or lines containing

device or call commands in either

autoexec.bat or config.sys.

2. Disable the conflicting drivers and devices and

un-install and then reinstall the card.

If you have bad performance with the NT driver, try using

a different IRQ, even if the IRQ does not appear in the

conflicting list.
