Identify belkin card

iviv · 30 Mar 2008 at 14:22

Right, I've got a belkin wireless card in my PC, But I can't remember the make or version of it. Is there a way to get vista to tell me which it is, or am I going to have to power off and remove it? (Will be rather fiddley since its sitting right between my graphics card and my sound card).

Thanks

First place I checked, nothing

I know I first had problems when I plugged it in. If I remove the card then put it back in while the power is off, there won't be any problems, will there?

Is it a Belkin ?

I remember buying a belkin wireless card, installing the belkin drivers, and the device manager confirms this

Edit: Aha! I'm a genius!
Searched my gmail for an order for a belkin PCI card, and found it. Its the F5d7000 ^_^
No idea what version it is, though

this one?

http://catalog.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=136479

they normally put a note on the page if there are mutable versions

EDIT: driver?

Thats the one. However, there are seven different drivers for it, depending on which version of the card you have, and only a couple are Vista 64 compatable.

Oh well, I'm home for 3 weeks anyway, so I'll worry about this when I get back.
