----------------------------------------------------------- Installing the TurboCell PC Driver on Windows 95/98/Me ----------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------- Overview -------------------------------------- I. Performing a new install II. Upgrading existing installations III. Troubleshooting Tips If you do not currently have a driver installed for the WaveLAN/IEEE or ORiNOCO PC Card, you can follow the steps described in "I. Performing a new install" to install the TurboCell PC Driver. If you have an existing PC Card driver installed, including: * Previous versions of the TurboCell PC Driver * ANY WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card driver * ANY ORiNOCO PC Card driver You should follow the instructions under "II. Upgrading existing installations" or uninstall your driver and then follow the instructions here. -------------------------------------- I. Performing a new install -------------------------------------- To install the TurboCell PC Driver on a system that does not currently have an ORiNOCO PC Card driver installed 1. Make sure your ORiNOCO PC Card is NOT currently plugged in to your computer. 2. In Windows, click on 'Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Control Panel' 3. In the Control Panel, open the 'Add New Hardware' control panel applet 4. Click 'Next'. Windows will automatically detect any Plug-n-Play devices you may have installed. Since you have not plugged in the ORiNOCO PC Card yet, it will not detect that device. If it detects any other device(s), Windows will install the drivers for those devices, and then ask you if you want to continue. You DO NOT want to finish, but you want to continue installing devices. 5. Windows will then offer to look for other devices. Select the 'No, I want to select the hardware from a list' option and click 'Next'. 6. The next dialog that appears will prompt you to choose which hardware type. Select the 'Network Adapter' item and click 'Next'. 7. When the dialog appears, click on the 'Have Disk...' button 8. Enter the full path to the location of the driver files you have extracted. Make sure you specify the path to the correct Operating System directory, for example: ... \TC_v7_2_0_620\Win95 9. Follow the on-screen instructions 10. Setup your TurboCell PC Driver and reboot your computer. -------------------------------------- II. Upgrading existing installations -------------------------------------- In most cases, you can upgrade any existing TurboCell PC Driver installations or standard 802.11 ORiNOCO PC Card drivers from Lucent Technologies or Agere Systems as follows: 1. Make sure your ORiNOCO PC Card is currently plugged in to your computer 2. In Windows, click on 'Start' -> 'Settings' -> 'Control Panel' 3. In the Control Panel, open the 'System' control panel applet 4. Click on the 'Device Manager' tab 5. Under 'Network Adapters', select 'WaveLAN/IEEE PC Card' or 'ORiNOCO PC Card' 6. Click on the 'Properties' button 7. When the Properties dialog is displayed, click on the 'Driver' tab 8. Click on the 'Update Driver' button 9. When prompted, select the option to 'Display a list of the known drivers for this device...' and click the 'Next' button 10. When the next dialog appears, click on the 'Have Disk...' button 11. Enter the full path to the location of the driver files you have extracted. Make sure you specify the path to the correct Operating System directory, for example: ... \TC_v7_2_0_620\Win95 12. Follow the on-screen instructions If the above steps do not work, you will need to uninstall your existing driver using the 'Add/Remove Hardware' wizard or the 'Uninstall/Remove' button in the Device Manager screen to remove your existing driver. Then restart your computer and follow the steps described in I. Performing a new install -------------------------------------- III. Troubleshooting Tips -------------------------------------- * After selecting the .INF file, you will be prompted to select the appropriate driver for your hardware. The following three options will be available to you: -- ORiNOCO PC Card (5 Volt) -- ORiNOCO Integrated Card -- ORiNOCO Mini PCI Card Most customers have 5 volt ORiNOCO PC Card hardware, so select "ORiNOCO PC Card (5 Volt)", unless you have an embedded ORiNOCO radio. * When installing the driver into a Windows desktop PC using an ISA- or PCI-to-PCMCIA adapter, you MUST correctly install the adapter card BEFORE attempting to install the TurboCell PC Driver. Failure to correctly install the adapter card before installing the TurboCell PC Driver will cause the TurboCell PC Driver to be installed incorrectly, causing unpredictable results. Observed symptoms include: - Not recognizing the ORiNOCO PC Card when it is inserted into the PCMCIA slot. - Automatically detecting the ORiNOCO PC Card when it is inserted, and allowing you to install the driver, but the driver does not load correctly when the card is inserted. - Windows Device Manager reporting that 'The device is disabled, not installed correctly, or is not plugged in'. - On Windows 2000, driver may appear to install correctly. The Client Manager may report a normal connection when in IEEE 802.11 client mode, but always report 'No ISP Base Station in Range' when in TurboCell mode. In both cases, the Windows networking cable connection indicator ALWAYS reports 'Network Cable Unplugged'. * I/O Port conflicts under MS-Windows 95. When your ORiNOCO Card's installation completed successfully, but it does not become operational (Client Manager reports "ORiNOCO card not operational"), you are advised to try a different I/O Port value. The Windows Resource Manager does not always detect a conflict. This problem has been noticed under Windows 95 OSR 0. * ORiNOCO Add/Edit profile does not appear upon installation The ORiNOCO driver requires Common Control DLL's 4.0 or later. You can resolve this error by either: * Installing Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later, * (Re-)installing the latest Client Manager, or * Run the patch 'comupd50.exe' included in the main ZIP fileDownload Driver Pack
After your driver has been downloaded, follow these simple steps to install it.
Expand the archive file (if the download file is in zip or rar format).
If the expanded file has an .exe extension, double click it and follow the installation instructions.
Otherwise, open Device Manager by right-clicking the Start menu and selecting Device Manager.
Find the device and model you want to update in the device list.
Double-click on it to open the Properties dialog box.
From the Properties dialog box, select the Driver tab.
Click the Update Driver button, then follow the instructions.
Very important: You must reboot your system to ensure that any driver updates have taken effect.
