Help with new mini wifi card in Aspire 5749 gettin error code 10

fabgav

Hi all, 

 

I brought a new mini wifi card for my laptop so i could get 5gh wifi due to an upgrade in my broadband.

 

I did some research and found that supposidly the Intel Centrion Advanced 6205 card is compatible with my laptop.

 

I downloaded the most recent drivers and install the card.

 

Device manager see's it and states drivers are installed but has error code 10 -' device cannot start.

 

I check the registry which did not seem to have the problems in as reported by other forums (something about upper and lower filters)

I when into bios setup and restored defaults.

 

Tried down-grading the driver to an older version but still the same problem.

I even took it out and re-installed the card.

 

So basically does anybody know for sure if this card is compatble OR have I brought a dud card?

My only thought is that if it was dud surely device manager would not even see it?

 

Windows 7 home is my OS

 

Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

 

Regard, 

Gav

Did you uninstall and delete all wireless programs and drivers in Programs and features and Devive Manager before you tried to install the Intel? If not do that and reboot, then install Intel.
