Are you sure it has RT2560 chipset? Different revisions of that card have different chipsets.

I'm sure EP-9321-g has 2560 chipset.

How are you sure, and what are you sure about (your card? all cards?)? It's clear that some SurecomEP-9321-g cards DO NOT have the RT2560 chipset.

is there any method to check the chipset in my card?

There's a couple. One easy way is to grab either a) the driver on the CD that came with it, or b) the installed driver that works with it installed as a network card. Copy the rt2560.inf file and send its contents to me by PM or email and I will check it.
Another way is to install PciTree, run it, find the listing for your network card, and tell me what it says for VID and DID. If it doesn't look something like this:
VID: x1814 Ralink Technology Crop
DID: x0201
...then it's probably not RT2560. The numbers are the important part.

I didn't find rt2560.inf the only one that I found is rt2500. but I still sure the chipset in my card is rt2560 because I remove the card from PCI slot and open the card's cover and found that the chipset inside is rt2560. I would like to post the picture of the chipset on this forum, How to post?

I find the easiest way is just to physically look at the card...

That's easy too except when the cards have a metal plate or sticker covering the actual chipset.

Looking back at your original post, I think you're problem might be that the hacked driver might not be getting installed because WinXP LOVES to just install what it thinks is better (rather than what you tell it to install). Between that, and the fact that you can SEE rt2560 on the physical card, makes me think that THIS is the problem.
After you attempt to install the hacked driver, what does your Device Manager show? If there is no Nintendo DS - 802.11 entry, then you've found your real problem.
If that's the case, to make sure that you install your driver of choice, follow the instructions from my WiFi Guide.

You're right. My windows XP SP2 always recognise this card as network card surecom 802.11 and always install windows driver instead of hacked driver. So I follow your WiFi guide and I now can see Nintendo DS - 802.11 category under Network adapters but the new problem is there is a yellow clamation point in front of Ralink RT2560 device and it's can not function. I go go check the properties and I can see error code 31. What should I do?

Try the other PCI slots. If that still doesn't work, remove any unnecessary PCI cards temporarilly. Error code 31 is said to happen when a device is dependent on another device to work.

If it's installing the official driver into "Network adapters" or whatever it's called in Windows XP, can you find it under "Network adapters", choose Properties, and disable it?

I try to disable the network card and remove all PCI card and left only wireless card, it's still not work. when I update RT2560 device driver under DS-802.11 with the hacked driver again it change to rt2500 pci lan card and show under network adapter with the same yellow clamation point(!) too.

Did you try MOVING it to other PCI slots? That most frequently fixes problems like this.
Also, once you get it to show under Nintendo DS - 802.11, DO NOT update it. It sounds like Windows installed the manufacturer driver again if it is showing as rt2500 pci lan card under network adapters. When you do Update Driver, you need to make sure you are selecting Have Disk and pointing to folder that contains only the 1.0.0.8 driver. Once the device shows up under the Nintendo DS - 802.11 subtree, leave the driver as it is and see how it works. Also, take a screenshot of it if there's any problem and post a link or send it to me.

I try to moving to all PCI slots many time but not success!, win XP alway automatic detect it as surecom 802.11 pci device and I can't prevent it to detect. So, after 2 weeks trying, I decided to format my HD and reinstall OS and this time when it first time detect the card, I not install the original driver, point it to the hacked driver instead. This time it was success to install the card as Nintendo DS 802.11 and now anything go well. Thank you all guy to help me.
