Hi,
I followed the advise posted here and have now lost some of my laptop's functionality.
When inserting my wireless network PCMCIA (cardbus) card, I get the message: "...the
firmware on this system is not configured to allow the cardbus controller to be run
in cardbus mode. The operating system will currently accept only 16-bit (R2) pc"
I've tried to update the driver to revert back to the original configuration butthe
other options are no longer available. I only have the option to update to 'standard
PC'.
Is it possible to roll-back from this change?
Thanks in advance,
Tony
