GA 7N400 Pro 2 PCI problem

[kt0r]

Some time ago I had a system crash and ever since then my GA7n400 Pro 2 thinks my linksys wireless card is a Token Ring Network controller. It returns the vendor code as 1800 instead of the correct vendor code. I've tried two different wireless cards, reformatted the hard drive and done a clean install of XP, installed a known good hard drive with XP installed from a computer using the same wireless card. I also updated the BIOS and installed the latest chipset drivers. Nothing worked.

I have searched high and low for similar problems and cant find any references or fixes.

Hi kt0r, 

If you have a possibility to add more infos about your configuration system...

Like a exact of:
motherboard ( rev. 2.x or rev. 1.x ), BIOS version, PSU, graphics card, RAM, all Hard Drive, all SSD,
and of course your Brands and exact model of Linksys wireless card... and any other wireless or netware card, if appropriate for situation exposed in this Topic.

Add a infos about Windows XP : exact versions and type (like Windows XP x64-64bit).
