wireless card won't work, cisco diagnostics indicating card not enabled, it is in device manager with error
The card is showing up in device manager after installing the cisco driver and software, but is showing as resource not available, even while it is enabled. Tried the cisco software diagnostics, fails during enable test, says to enable card. Card is enabled in device manager, resource tab says resource unavailable.

already checked that, its a pcmcia card so its not controlled by the normal button for wireless on the keyboard.
Hi,
You are right, i did realise that after my post, because in my laptoop is the same, only controls onboard NICs, but as i think your card have also a way to enable\disable wireless radio, so may could be this since it's an old good card.
Which OS are you runnig, and which management utility do you use? If you're are running windows xp\2000 which utilities\software you installed?
There should be an application that should let you enable the wireless radio, o rome administration utility which shows you all other utilities.

although didnt solve the problem, I thought it was a logical solution
Just a suggestion.
Make sure your laptop don't have any button to enable/disable wireless support.
