Laptop Wireless Connection Problem

[Lara Croft]

Hi Everyone,
I'm working on a friends laptop at the mo and it won't wirelessly connect to my hub.

Laptop Model : HP compaq NX9030

The laptop has recently been wiped clean and a fresh install of Win XP c/w SP3 has been done.
The additional drivers were downloaded from :

Drivers & Software for HP Compaq nx9030 Notebook PC - HP Support Center.

Although, that said, I wasn't sure which Network driver to go for so I just picked one and am not sure if that is related to my problem.

Basically, the issue I am having is that using windows wireless connection program, it sees the hub and shows it at full strength, accepts the password but will not finally connect. It just keeps on trying but then gives up and I have to then select the hub in the list, hit connect, input the password and the same thing happens ??

Can anyone shed some light on it for me please, I would be most grateful.

Many Thanks

Open up Device Manager

On everything that has a yellow exclamation mark, do the following:


Right click -> Properties -> Details tab

Post the following info for each item that has a yellow exclamation mark:
Under "Hardware Ids" in the dropdown, it should have something like VEN_####&DEV#### ; post that section, where #### = some alphanumeric combination.
