Well all, I have an Inspiron 5150, with a TM1300. I've had a heck of a time with it trying to use wpa security. The new drivers seem to have completly fixed this problem, I have tested the connection for over 12 hrs with no drops!! Before if i could get 1 hr it was amazing. I am finally using the card the way it was intended, at 54mps with wpa ase security. If you are having problems with your tm1300, get the new drivers. it helped me :) Thanks to everyone here in the forum that has helped me get this card working befor the new drivers. by using wep and disableing windows zero config. that fixed it as well but it was a bandade for the real problem which i belive was the tm1300 driver and wzc conflict. Again, thank you to all for your very quick responses.. This forum is the best.. --Elliott
After the install fails, go to Control Panel -> System -> Hardware -> Device Manager and manually upgrade the driver for the TM1300 by pointing to the directory it was installed into by the file you downloaded. This will not install the utility, but will install the driver. If you want to install the utility, you need to modify the install.ini file. There is a thread in this forum that deals with how to do that. It is not difficult.
