Motorola Network Adapter

I am trying to figuer out why a Motorola Network Adapter Model WN825G on an old HP laptop. I can plug it in, and it beeps. When I look at the device manager, it shows a yellow ? by other devices. It shows on PCI communication device, pci ethernet controller and pci network controller.

Considering I'm pretty much a newbie at a lot of this, any insight would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

 

Sounds like you need the drivers installed for that:

Driver Update 6.1.1 This is the driver.
See if that clears up the question marks in your Device Manager. If it doesn't, I'll need the Make (HP) and model # of that laptop to see if I can find the other drivers you need.

THank you. the notebook is an HP Pavilion N5190, just in case they don't work.

 

Thanks, let me know which devices still need drivers after you install that one.
Edit: I'm guessing the OS is XP, right?

 

no the OS is ME, it's too old and slow to run xp, i think.

 

Good, found more drivers for that anyway...looking now for your exact specs and HP doesn't want to give 'em up

 

Hola geek units... any chance you ever found a solution to this issue (win98/ME drivers)? I am trying to make the 825GP card I have lying around work for my sister's crusty old Thinkpad 600, but I can only find the 6.1.1 drivers that don't support 98. I note that the 6.1.1 release notes direct 98/ME users to the 6.0.2 drivers (which are nowhere to be found), and I can also google up references to 3.60.7.0, but no actual files(except possibly at driveragent.com, but hell if I'm paying 30 bucks for a free driver...).

Every link I find just refers back to the Mot site, which has nothing but 6.1.1. I even called Motorola and they (after putting me on hold for a long time) claimed that the card doesn't support 98, although I don't buy that (see the reference in the 6.1.1 release notes!).

So.. any luck?

Thanks!
