Reinstalled XP last night now wireless network doesn;t work. Searched for 11g pcmcia driver cannot find. Purchased Driver Robot online, it is showing up the driver but not allowing me to download. Would appreciate any helpful advice. Thank you
 
We would need to know the make and model of the wireless card or if its built in, the make and model of the computer in question.

Without that information the most we can do is suggest you find the correct drivers for the wireless card. Which you have apparently tried to do.

Ignorance is not necessarily Bliss, case in point:
Unknown has caused an Unknown Error on Unknown and must be shutdown to prevent damage to Unknown.
 
Besides what Vacunita mentioned, the only other advice I could give, is to install the CHIPSET drivers first, then the drivers for the wireless device...

secondly, under XP you will have to run the Connection Wizard, to establish a connection for the first time, this not only enables the device but sets certain configs into place so that you do not have to do so later again...

Only ask questions with yes/no answers if you want "yes" or "no"
 
Besides any XP CD that you used for the install, do you also have a specific Driver's CD (supplied to you) that includes all the required drivers for your machine?

On the machine that you are having problems completing a download, is there any error message that is displayed?
