    think i've just done setup.exe ... now got on network connections page an icon for "wireless network connection 2" but with a red cross .. can't work out how to activate it ?
    That sounds a promising start, the red cross probably means you are not connected to a wireless network yet, but it looks like the card is working.
    Assuming that the error has now gone from device manager, then I would run the 'Easy Network Manager' software which should now list a wireless adapter and allow you to search for networks.
    I take it that you do have access to some sort of wireless network where you are, so it may just connect - or more likely you will need to obtain a passphrase from whoever controls the network to allow you to connect.
