Did you follow the manual? http://www.encore-usa.com/manuals/ENLWI-G-RLAM_Manual.pdf

What is your exact problem?

I don't think the manual solves his problem with the drivers.
I guess that the WiFiMe Tutorial is more helpful here.
Just follow the steps and it should work.
If not please give us an exact failure-report(what does windows say?).

Make sure you don't install the drivers that came with your card. Only install the wmb drivers.

Does your card at least say "ENLWI-G-RLAM" somewhere? If not, then they sent you the wrong item and you should request that they send the correct one. If it does, see if you can find any Revision numbers.

Also, download PCI Tree (http://www.pcitree.de/), unzip it, follow the instructions and place HLP.SYS in the correct folder. Run it, and look down the left window list, under PCI/PCI Bridge (or something like it), and see if you can find anything with Ralink under there. If you can't find Ralink, select whatever has Network Controller in it as long as it's not another network card you have installed. Once it's selected, look on the top right area and report back the VID and DID descriptions. DID should be 0201 and VID should be 1814. These same instructions are on the WiFiMe tutorial page, with a screenshot of PCI Tree also (http://www.aaronrogers.com/nintendods/wifime/images/pcitree_01.png).

pci tree says DID is 1faa and VID is 11ab

The "ENLWI-G-RLAM" model (rt2560) has been discontinued by ENCORE and has been replaced with the newer "ENLWI-G" model, which has a different chipset. You have the new model.

Since it seems like this thread has been answered, I hope you guys don't mind the slight hijack.

I'm looking for a USB wireless dongle. I'm looking at this one. The CWD-854 is listed as compatible with the driver, but this is marked as a model CWD-854D. Does anyone know if this dongle will still work with the driver?

Thanks!

EDIT:- Also, I was just reading the DS demos thread:
Quote:
Yes, you can play the individual .nds demos with WiFiMe if you have a Ralink PCI or PCMCIA card listed on this page. No, USB adapters don't count. No, you do not need to flash the firmware or use a GBA flash cart because the demos carry a valid digital signature from Nintendo.


So the demos won't work with USB adapters? Howcome USB devices are listed as compatible on the list then? :?

Those USB devices are listed as using a ralink chipset. That list wasn't written especially for WiFiMe.
