Hello
I recently reformated and old rig, and the result was that the D-Link Airplus DWL-510G didn't show up. I have installed drivers, but they have done nothing. I have tried reinstalling xp agin, but the result was the same.

System is a AMD Athlon XP 2800
1 GB Ram,
150 GB, 250 GB HDDS
5000s nvidia graphics card

Thanks in advance.

EDIT: Manually installed the drivers in device manager after finding the device in a strange location. Please delete this thread.

For future reinstalls, remove the card before you reformat, and then install the drivers before you install the card, like you would if following the in-box instructions for installing the cards. Yes, it's a pain to do that, but it's the easiest way to make sure the drivers install correctly with that card (I have one too).
