I installed a Racal NI6510 network card and had some trouble so I
reinstalled Windows.  I ran the Add New Hardware wizard and let it
auto-detect my hardware, and sure enough, it found the Racal NI6510 and
(supposedly) installed the drivers.  After several reboots, however, the
System control panel still says that the card is not functioning properly or
the drivers are not properly installed.

I'm a bit clueless--I had just pulled the card from an NT machine on which
it worked fine.  The only online support I've found was here:
http://luna.scienceworld.bc.ca:457/NetConfigG/ncfglimC.ni6510.html

..which, as you might find, wasn't exactly helpful.. or hopeful, for that
matter.

Anyone have any experience with these Racal's?  Anyone have the jumper
settings, by the way??

Thanks,
Jon Davis

Plug & Pray is not fool proof and very often it will not have or install the
proper drivers for a detected device. The biggest clue to your difficulties was
your question at the end " Anyone have the jumper
settings, by the way??" That is clearly the place to start.
