Well, why are you using the PCMCIA card if it has a built-in one?
I wanted to use it to connect a cantenna to it.
What's a cantenna?

Ahhhhhh, OK.
Just use the internal one.

So no other suggestions?
Well all I can say that hasn't been said is to remove the card, uninstall the drivers, reboot, install new drivers from the manufacturer's website, reboot, then plug the card in and let it get detected. Reboot again and see if that doesn't help you. Also, you might get into c:\program files and see about deleting the folder that contained the old software after you uninstall it to make sure no configuration files or logs are held over from the old install.

So how do you adjust the power on it?
same navigation. for my wifi card the power setting is under "Advanced" tab. It says "Transmit Power" that can be adjusted from min to max. yours could be slight different but most likely in the same place. Set it to max.
However, keep in mind my original suggestion was not about power but power management. Both these things can be adjusted after you click Configure.

Navigate to the Command Prompt [Start>>RUN>>CMD]
Type the following and press Enter: ipconfig /flushdns
Wait ~15 seconds for a message to appear saying that all went well
Type the following and press enter: ipconfig /renew
[For other options type "ipconfig /?" and press Enter]
Once the prompt returns type "exit" press Enter and reboot
This is what i got from doing this,No operation can be performed on Wireless connection 3 while it has its media disconnected . An error occurred while renewing interface Local Area Connection : the rpc server is unavailable

You can either get the most recent "OEM" drivers, or get the most recent drivers available from the manufacturer of your laptop's website.
