Ok, so I did the stupid thing and bought a cheap one on ebay.
Recently I accidently dropped my laptop with both USB ports having devices in them, and it broke everything all to hell inside when it fell, so I'm out both USB ports. I bought a 4 port PCMCIA card off of ebay.
It FINALLY came and it doesn't work.
I plug it in, it recognizes it, adds a bunch more USB buses to the Device manager, but nothing I plug in will work.
There's no brand name on the card, but there's a model number : QFASCB
Every search I did with that came up with eithr IEEE 1394 or 2 port USB cards, no 4 port ones.
Computer is a Dell Inspiron 1150 with XP Pro SP1.
