I wanted to use it in my a Toshiba Libretto so I popped it in the PC Card slot on the Libretto and - nothing. The light came on the card and then disappeared. Seemed a little strange but seeing the device was detected I figured I had a bad driver installation or something like that. In any case, I tried the card in one of my other laptops and it didn't work anymore. I did some research and discovered that the Libretto does not properly manage the voltage output to the PC Card slots at older BIOS levels. There are three NICs it has been known to cause issues with and mine was one one of the models. So my question is - is there any chance of resurrecting the card or do I consign it to the "lessons learned" file. TIA __________________ Get your Pocket Mojo. Anthony Caruana is the Mojo master.
