VA-503+ won't recognize D-Link network card
What's been your luck in getting the D-Link DWL-G510 wireless PCI
netwoerk card to work in an FIC VA-503+ and Windows? I couldn't get Windows to recognize the card, no matter how I installed or uninstalled the driver software, what PCI slot I used (other slots empty, how I configured the BIOS, or what VIA 4-in-1 driver software I installed -- but only with the VA-503+. With every other mobo I have, new and old, the D-Link card installs fine, including in the FIC PA-2007, which is older than their VA-503+. If you were able to make this NIC work in your VA-503+, how did you do it? |

I had exact same problem with Asus P4B-F (Pentium-II slot 1 MB) and G510
wireless card. The MB BIOS PnP would not detect card no matter which PCI slot I used. The card worked fine in other computer. The box says requires 32 bit PCI slot. I thought they were all 32 bit. I have never seen anything like it. -Kent |

It didn't help. This VA-503+ can sometimes be one wierd mobo. |

Not much. |

That's wierd because that card worked fine in my Soyo 6BB v. 1.0, based on the same Intel 440BX chipset. The wierdest incompatibility I ever experienced was with a VIA-based USB 2.0 USB card that caused my VIA-based VA-503+ (made by FIC, owned by the same parent company as VIA) to act dead. I thought that it was caused by the card's use of 2.5V instead of the usual 3.3V (advertised as 3.3V tolerant), but it worked fine in an older VIA-based mobo and even an SiS mobo so old that it had no DIMM or USB support (the G510 wireless card was fine in it). |

I feel for you, sometimes it can be a btch ~ |
