re: Data is invalid - can't install PCI device Wednesday, April 2, 2003 at 9:21 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by duong (1 messages posted) On wenesday, April 2, 2003 at 8 pm Under XP Professional, I have installed an IEEE 802.11b wireless PCI adapter Model MA311 from NETGEAR. I got the message 'data is invalid'. I have done every thing as described below until \PCI : but under every numeric folder, when looking for "DeviceDesc" I do not know which one matches my hardware ( I guess the nearest DeviceDesc is "Controller IEEE 1394 " ) . Can anyone give me an advice.
