Hiya!

This is not a Linux question per se, but I hope someone
will be able to give me some guidance.
I recently (i.e. yesterday) acquired a disused computer,
through a friend. I purchased a wireless PCI NIC
(LevelOne WNC-0300)for it and installed it this morning.

After the installation, the computer won't start at all.
I took great care in avoiding static charge buildup during
the installation, so I don't think that is the problem.

I did notice something strange inside the compy, though.
There was this switch that was depressed when removing the hull.
Said switch had two wires, connected to the motherboard.
I don't think I've ever seen something similar, but then
again, it's been a while since I've had to tinker with hardware.

As usual, any help is greatly appreciated.

EDIT: Problem solved, I had forgotten to flip a switch.
Classic, I know.

Ya know, it's exceptionally nice when someone takes the time to come back and toss in an edit or follow up post to mention that the problem was solved. Thank you for posting the edit!
