"Code 10" Reported with PCMCIA Network Card on TravelMate 5000

• Microsoft Windows 95

SYMPTOMS

When you are using a Texas Instruments (TI) TravelMate 5000 computer with a PCMCIA network adapter and protected-mode drivers for the PCMCIA socket and adapter, the adapter is detected and identified correctly by Windows 95, but you may see an exclamation point in a yellow circle next to the adapter in Device Manager. When this is the case, if you view the properties for the adapter, "Code 10" is displayed in the Device Status box.

CAUSE

The CMOS setting for PCMCIA I/O Addressing is set to Minimum. This setting does not appear to cause any problems when you are using a PCMCIA modem or hard disk, or when you are using a PCMCIA network adapter with real-mode drivers for the socket and adapter. However, this setting does cause problems when you are using a PCMCIA network adapter with protected-mode drivers for the socket and adapter.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, change the CMOS setting for PCMCIA I/O Addressing from Minimum to Maximum. For information about changing CMOS settings on your TI TravelMate 5000 computer, please refer to the computer's documentation or manufacturer.
