I'm having trouble getting a USB card I'm trying to install in a PCI slot to work properly in my 4� year old Gateway Pentium Pro G6-200. Actually the USB card works fine installed by itself but it will not work with the Dell (Aironet) wireless NIC I installed last year. Both devices are assigned IRQ 10. This computer has the Gateway OEM version of the Intel VS440FX motherboard. I long ago upgraded the Gateway BIOS to the latest available version. I also long ago upgraded to Windows 98 Second Edition, and IRQ steering is enabled and working. I've tried the cards in virtually every imaginable combination of arrangements in the 4 PCI slots, but none worked. I've tried installing each device individually, then manually setting memory and I/O settings followed by trying the second card. I've tried disabling IRQ steering. I should mention that there is a third PCI card installed too; a video card that came with the machine. I've tried getting support from Gateway, Microsoft, and the USB card manufacturer (SIIG) but nothing we 've tried has been able to resolve this problem. I'd appreciate any suggestions you can offer, plus suggestions of other newsgroups to which I should post this request. Please remove "nospam" from my reply address to e-mail me directly. Thanks.
