I reinstalled retroprecise 5.4.3. Went thru the Internet Connection Wizard. If I select the Autoconnect profile, the only security option is WEP. I can not select open. In my situation, I want open. I then have to edit and create a profile so that I can operate open. I think that because I can not r...

Might try Frisbee, but it does look complicated to do. Hope retro precise gets fixed so the next guy doe's not have to go thru the same mess. I went to a used computer parts place to get a bigger HDD and more RAM. They asked how big a drive I had. It was an old 6GB drive that I had retroprecise inst...

I am using Netgear 16-bit PCMCIA MA401 wireless card. Works well, but wonder why I have to configure it every time I start the laptop. I do not have to reconfigure the ethernet port at startup as long as an ethernet cable is plugged into it. I previously was having trouble with the Intel wireless ca...

Just downloaded ICS_Dx32.zip and extracted files from it I tried NETw532.INF and w29n51.INF. After using Ndiswrapper I got invalid driver message for each of them. The D600 was running XP until the HDD went south and the laptop was given to me, so I think an XP driver should work. How do I determine...
