3Com XJACK Card

[CompuTamer]

This should not be this hard. Windows can't find a driver for this wireless card, Google can't find it, and HP is useless because they won't give me a SAID number.

So, i need either a driver for this thing, or an HP SAID number. The card is a 3Com SL-3050 A/B/G card. OS is Windows XP Home 32bit.

Any and all help is appreciated.

Did you try the 3Com Driver Installer (http://xpdrivers.com/3com/_2_135184.cfm?gclid=CN7HjOiriagCFRphgwod33KhBg) program?

Just installs driver detective and tries to sell me stuff :/

So the name of the driver that your card uses is 3CRPAG175B. I found that this program (http://download.wireless-driver.com/driver/Atheros/Atheros4-1-2-144.exe) on this page (http://www.wireless-driver.com/atheros-based-all-wireless-cards/) provides you with that driver.

The program ran without any intention of adware involved. I got to the point in the program where it couldn't sense my wireless card (because I don't have one). Hopefully it will find yours and give you the right driver!

Thanks! I'll try that one when I get home.

On a funny note, called HP about this, and they insisted that my notebook didn't support WiFi since it didn't come with it, and then tried to sell me a whole new laptop for $400 I already have a 6910p, I just wanted the drivers for this card for a friend that has a Toshiba.

"Can you just give me the SAID number that I'm supposed to have gotten anyway?"
"I'm sorry, but that number is not available. We reccomend that you buy this laptop. I'll give $100 instant rebate"
-hangs up-


Support is useless. :bang head
