From: Jimmy Dean on 22 Feb 2005 01:33 How common is it for wireless network adapters NOT to be able to connect easily with wireless base stations of a different brand?

It's not all that common, but it's not unheard of, particularly with older hardware. Make sure that you are running a card that is compatible with your base station (ie, are they both A or G or B/G?). If they are, try updating the firmware for both (you may not be able to for your notebook).
