WLAN PCI card "cannot find enough free resources that it can use"

What card is it, specific make model version?

Is it support under Win 10?

It's an EDiMAX IEEE 802.11n wireless LAN PCI card, model number EW-7727ln.

There's no driver for Windows 10. I've tried the driver for Windows 7, which Win 10 insisted upon running in Vista compatibility mode. Here's the product on the manufacturer's website.

Replacing the card is, ahem, on the cards if the other solutions (moving the card around and forcing Win 7 compatibility mode) doesn't work.

Interesting aside: while running Linux (Kubuntu) off a live USB stick,

Code:

lshw

and

Code:

lspci

don't recognise the presence of the card at all.

If unsure use a utility such as Aida64 or Speccy to confirm this is the exact model of your card. To install Windows 7 drivers in compatibility mode, right-click on the file and select Properties. Go to Compatibility tab, check the box and select Windows 7. I would do it for all users with the respective button just in case. If that fails, then you need to extract the driver files to a folder using WinRAR or another application. Then go to the Setup (or similar) file and set that to Windows 7 compatibility mode. Then try running it to start the setup.

your card i found that use the chipset ralink2860.
I found in the station driver a windows 10 driver for this chipset. :

Problem solved. I took the card out and put it back in again in the same slot, and it works now on both GNU/Linux and Windows 10. Presumably it was not seated properly.
