i Series 1480 CardBus Problem

#1 Post by JohnG » Wed Oct 27, 2004 10:10 pm

After completely filling the original 6 GB HD on my i Series 1480, I have replaced it with a 20 GB HD. I have been successful in installing Win 98SE and almost every driver, mostly from the IBM support pages. The last issue is that the system now identifies my SMC WiFi card as a network controller, and it is not identified by the cardbus. Has anyone seen this and been able to fix it?

It turns out, after conversation with SMC Tech Support, that the drivers marked V1 and V2 are not related to upgrades of the drivers. There are 2 versions of the SMC 2635W card, Versions 1 & 2 and the drivers are different. No mention of this on the driver site.
