PCMCIA Card Fails "Code 10" in Windows XP

This problem has been seen on TDKLan LAK-CD031 Ethernet 10BASE-T PCMCIA cards when operating in Windows XP with the PSeries Version 5.07 drivers installed. It may also effect other 16-bit PCMCIA cards in Windows XP.

More information

The drivers for the TDKLan card, which are distributed with the Windows XP operating system, do not support IRQ sharing. When the drivers load, they refuse to start because the IRQ allocated to the card is being shared by another device.

Note About This Download

It appears that on some systems there is a problem downloading this registry file. The name of the file is "enable_isa_to_pci_routing.reg" but some computers seem to see it as "enable_isa_to_pci_routing.reg.mpg". On some Windows systems using Internet Explorer this can cause Windows Media Player to open if you try to download the file.

This effect is very inconsistent. We have observed it with a variety of versions of Windows and using several browsers including different versions of Internet Explorer and Mozilla and Netscape We have also seen two machines with apparently identical setups (e.g. Windows 98SE plus Internet Explorer 5.5) where this phenomenon is only observed on one.

We are not sure at the moment what is causing this problem. If you have difficulties downloading this file please email us at web@elandigitalsystems.com and we will send it to you. (It would be helpful to know what operating system and web browser you are using.) We would also be interested to hear from anyone who has seen this behavior downloading other files or who has any information about this problem.

Other registry key downloads on the Elan website are unaffected.
