Alga i didnt have a problem using this card under beta 2 and used to connect
to the net frequently with no problems using the default software that
shipped with the CD.
Now my problem is Rc1 wont install the drivers for some strange reason, and
i have 2 unknown devices in my device manager. ( atm , base system device ).
have you managed to get your card to work in rc1 ?
