Hi everybody,
this is my first post here.
My problem is the following:
I have recently bought a wireless modem-router Conitech mod. CN405WL54 and configured it for my Mac Mini Intel Core duo 1,6 Ghz running Leopard and Windows Xp professional Service Pack 3.
Everything ok with Leopard, everything wrong running Xp.
When I try to connect wireless network the message is always: "Unable to detect wireless connections. If you want Windows to do it. Please enable zero configuration".. and so on. Unfortunately I cannot start "zero configuration" from control panel (error message 1008).
My wireless card is an Atheros AR5006X and I have tried many times to upgrade drivers from Atheros web site. But risult is always the same. In addittion, I have tried with another Usb Wi-fi dongle (provided with modem), but with this one too, it is completely impossible to see wireless icons in the tray bar.
Due to the fact that the tab "wireless networks" does not appear in "wireless card properties", one friend of mine suggested that card is "off", perhaps.
The question is: How can I switch it on (by Fn+F2), having an Apple Pro keyboard without the Fn key? Is there any softare solution? Is it impossible to connect a Mac hardware to wi-fi using Windows?
Thanks in advance and happy new year!
