It is a PCI card I presume, correct? Run the following, and copy/paste the results for me, using code tags.

Please edit your post, and use [code ][/ code] like I have asked please (without the spaces). It makes readability much more better.

u there

This isn't an instant messaging service. You can't, and shouldn't expect express answers.

LOTS of information about your card all over the internet. You might need to switch up the drivers that are being used in order to get your device working. Or, you just may need to activate your device. Could you post the output of the following commands for me? Sorry I haven't asked you this sooner. And also, just like akuthia said, this is a strictly volunteer-type forum; We all have lives of our own, and we are not obligated to help you out 24/7.

what do u want me to type,please be specific.

Not sure how to say this without sounding mean, but I am not going to hold your hand all the way through, step by step. We are here to assist, not to be your personal teacher. What all have you tried so far in able to get your chipset working?

Well, ot be fair Corp you did ask the op to provide the output of the following commands, but didnt give any commands :D

Oh wow, I didn't realize it didn't post... My apologies!!!! I know for a damn fact I put the commands in. Talk about weird.... Well anyway, my apologies go to the OP. Could you kindly provide me the output of the following commands please? Thanks man!
