This site has given me drivers for the actual PCI card, but I have no driver for the PCMCIA bridge.

I've also tried these drivers here: http://www.agere.com/mobility/wireless_lan_drivers.html
But I think those are for the Network Adapter and not the bridge...

Under Device Manager, it gives me one of those nice little yellow exclaimation marks telling me it doesn't have the right resources...

Help, anyone? I'm sure someone must've had this problem as well.

Thanks.
This is a laptop you're talking about and not a desktop with an internal PCMCIA to PCI/ISA adaptor right?

Where does this bridge show up in your device manager? What category?

Is this the first time you've used a PCMCIA card in this machine?
