Assuming that your router is configured and operating properly, this is one of those rare occassions when I reccommend using a driver, and OS software from MS. Specifically for WPC54GS, after installating your software using the CD Wizard, go to Microsoft Updates, and they will have a newer driver for you to download/install. After installing the driver from MS, I also reccommend using the Windows Zero Config service instead of the Linksys Monitor. Again, this personal opinion is currently limited to the WPC54GS. If you aren't sure if your router is configured properly, I suggest you post again for router assistance with detailed router information.

Card is inactive

You might want to make sure that your wireless adapter is enabled. Depending on what operating system you will need to go into your network connections area and enable it.If you have a laptop make sure that the switch has been turned on. It is usually located on the front side of the laptop.

Will any Wireless Adapters work without the PC's NIC?

Yes even without any NIC card installed on your computer , the wireless adapter will definitely work since its a different device that work for wireless connection and has nothing to do with your NIC card configuration.

Linksys WPC54GS wireless adapter installation issue

There's a possibility that the adapter is defective. However, you may still try the following:

1. Make sure to uninstall the software if you still have it installed. Remove it from the Programs list or under Add/Remove Programs.
2. Check Device Manager and make sure adapter is not under Network Adapters nor Other Devices. It might be called Network Controller if driver is not installed correctly.
3. Unplug card, shutdown computer and when PC is powered off, plug card back and restart computer.You may insert the CD on this process, but do not run/continue the CD setup wizard.
4. When computer is back on, you should get a Found New Hardware bubble message or wizard.

Just finish the wizard and tell me how it went. Goodluck!

Linksys WPC54GS wireless adapter installation issue

It sounds like you may have a band PCMCIA slot. Have you attempted to use any other expansion cards in it to test this theory?
