Laptop won't recognize my firewire card

I too have the same problem on XP with a modern laptop (P4). The cardbus
controller does not seem to recognise that anything is there when I insert
the card. On my friends laptop it immediately requests the software. (Which I
have installed on my laptop.)

I'm wondering if my controller hardware is faulty or if I need to updat
drivers on the controller? When I try and do the latter through control
panel, it tells me the latest driver is installed.
