    Ok installed the drivers for my Intel Pro/Wireless 2915 Mini-PC Card. Now the Intell Wireless search comes up and finds my linksys wireless modem. Tells me to imput the Ownership ID and the Device ID. I do so corectly and then hit next. It goes through the process of verifying but cant verify it. Any idea what i should do??

    there is a networking section for this guy. Ive set my my lappy up with a n intel 2200, and a linksys router. I never came across this ownership id/device id this isnt the wep key?

    Edit: i went through intel and linksys couldnt find any info on this "Ownership ID and the Device ID". Perhaps you typed them wrong? where did these id's come from?

    Well this is the wireless modem and not the router i think?You did say modem but is this a router? Linksys does make routers.

    Try doing the online setup at linksys.com and see how it turns out. The online setup is a lot easier.
