OK thanks.

I've just tried to install the Genmac drivers and the only mod to the = config.sys is:

RUN=3DD:\genmac\DRIVER\HELPERW.EXE

There are no other entries for *.nif or *.sys files and no alteration to = the path statement....is this correct?

There is a folder on the desktop which contains only help, a web page, a = scan tool (which doesn't find the Wifi device) and an empty log = file.

The installation program detected my WLAN as "Atheros = 168c:1014".
I've run both the "full" and "split" Genmac = installations for the LAN cards detected but on reboot my Wifi warning = light is dead/off.


any ideas to fix?

Thanks

Peter

If you know which wifi chipset you have go to netlabs and download = the
