Driver needed

Willbo · 7 Oct 2007 at 11:09

Don't know if anyone can help, but I'm after a driver for the Wireless network adapter on my laptop. Its a Fujitsu Amilo Li 1705, and it has Windows Server 2003 installed.

I've tried looking on the net but cant find anything for Win2k3.

The adaptor is LiteOn WN2302A mPCI WLAN IEEE802.11 b/g

Really appreciate if someone can help as I'm really getting desperate now and I'm having no luck

xp drivers will work fine in windows 2003.

Willbo · 7 Oct 2007 at 11:26

Though so, I've tried them and installation program works ok and installs them, and displays a message saying the system will need to be rebooted once installed.
I see the progress bar go to 100% in the installation program but then once that disappears I'm left staring at a blank screen for a long time with nothing happening

try and use device manager to update the drivers manually and point it towards the folder containing the drivers?

Willbo · 7 Oct 2007 at 11:34

I've tried, but the folder I've downloaded for Windows XP just has setup files and no driver .inf file to use

bugger.

can you find out who actually makes the card. there might be some generic drivers depending on who made the chipset?

Looking at the Fujitsu Siemens website, the details for the driver are.....

just extract them with winrar or the like

Willbo · 7 Oct 2007 at 22:30

Sorry, maybe I haven't made myself clear. The download is a setup.exe file which installs everything automatically. It doest extract the drivers to a folder.

Tried downloading a couple of other files from driversguide.com which should work with Server 2k3 but no luck again

The page with details of all the XP drivers is there, they all work within XP and 2k3. Except the Wi-fi which I cant seem to load properly and get to the end of the installation after the installation screen closes as I was saying ^^^^

Run this - http://support.fujitsu-siemens.de/D...&ClassID=4A124D53-5C5C-4D19-A295-E70AE82D048E on an XP system.
After it finishes, look in "c:\program files\wireless lan" for the driver !

Willbo · 8 Oct 2007 at 19:23

Downloaded it, and ran the file....after 10 minutes I'm still sat here with no response from the laptop. I've checked the Program Files folder but no Wireless Lan folder exists

Willbo · 8 Oct 2007 at 19:31

Ok sorted, ran the file on my main PC to create the Wireless Lan folder, once that had created I copied the drivers to a USB stick and installed them on the laptop with Win2k3 Server...all working now

Many thanks for your help
