Hello I have an old xircom wireless pcmcia card for my laptop the card is no longer supported I have NT4 drivers and win95 drivers for the card, when win2k tries to install the drivers it says "The style of the INF is different than what was requested"
Is there any way to change the INF to work with win 2k? I bought the access point and the PCMCIA card brand new in the box for $25.00 canadian not knowing that it wont run under win2k
Here is the inf file if that will help some one help me:
