How does WinXP determine the version of the desktop wireless network card driver?

Notebooks generally have a built-in wireless network card that can use the wireless network signal to access the Internet. But most desktops don't have a wireless network card, but now you can use the external wireless network card to achieve desktop wireless Internet access. Nowadays, many of them use the USB wireless network card brand, but they do not provide the network card driver. What should I do? So how do you determine if there is a wireless network card driver? Let me talk about how WinXP determines the version of the desktop wireless network card driver.

The steps are as follows:

1. Take the patriot (aigo) MU4-WN727N wireless network card 150M as an example.

2, when the network card is just plugged into the desktop USB port, the desktop machine actively finds the driver for the new hardware. In this case, the network card can not find the driver, here can be in the "Control Panel" - Add Hardware - See the newly added NIC in Device Manager.

3, check whether there is a driver download address in the package of the network card you purchased or on the package, if you have not gone to the official website to download the area to find out if there is a response driver.

4, if you still can not find the driver, we can search the network model of the wireless network card used in the network, according to the chip model to determine the network card driver, here we find that the Patriot network card is using Rlink Ralink 3070 chip.

5, at this point we can according to this chip model, "Rlink Ralink 3070 chip NIC driver download", download and install.

6, or we can directly install the software "Drive Wizard", this software will find the missing drivers on the PC, provide download and installation, although the drivers found do not match very well, but the core communication protocol used is the same, It is fully competent.

7. After the installation is complete, we can see the icon of the wireless network card in the lower left corner of the PC, and the Device Manager can also see that the driver is successfully installed.

8, find the wireless network, enter the password, you can use the desktop wireless Internet.
