Greetings all,

I am trying to setup a wireless system with a Access Point and a PCI
wireless card.

It all works fine on my test systems,
but the PCI wireless card does not seem compatible with the client's old
Pentium 3, 450MHz, i440BX chipset, Abit AB-BH6 mainboard, WinXP Prof.
system - when installed, PC fails to even boot at all.

I have tried an 11g 54MHz card (MSI PC54G) and an 11b 11MHz card (MSI
PC11b2) - both fail in exactly the same way - the system fails to boot, or
even give any beeps, or show any sign of life when the wireless card is
installed in any slot.

Does anyone know of any compatibility issues there?

thanks,
Quentin
