I am working on a laptop for a client. They recently had their laptop
dumped and reloaded. The laptop does not have wireless. The customer had
been using a pcmcia wireless adapter with the laptop before the reload, now
the adapter is not getting an IP address from the wireless router. The
ethernet connection is getting an ip address, but not the wireless. It is
enabled in the router and the laptop. I tried the adapter in another
laptop, and it works great.
