When properly installed and used, the Flarion Wireless Broadband PC Card is very
reliable. Problems that arise are likely to be because:

following operating systems do not work with the wireless network card:
Windows 95, Windows 98 (Gold Edition), and NT 4.0.

• Other devices are using the system resources that are required for the FPC 1000 to

function

• The wrong driver has been installed.
