Tecra M3: Unknown Device in Device Manager

Fellow Tecra M3 owners, I need your opinion on something.

I use my M3 mostly with Gentoo/FreeBSD, however I do have a WinXP partition for games. I have installed all drivers (including Chipset) correctly, but apparently I have missed one because device manager complains about one unknown device as you can see from this picture:



I was wondering whether or not you know what may be causing this. All "odd" devices such as card reader, modem and iR are working correctly, so what could it be in your opinion?

I thought it was the TouchPad, but when I try to install the "tm3dualpoint.exe" file I downloaded from Tecra M3 driver page, it tells me that the wrong one is installed and kicks me out of the setup.

Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

-Walter

Try right-clicking the unknown device and see if there is any more info.

When you select the mouse from the control panel, does it give you touchpad options?

The only info it gives me is under the 'Details' tab and says: ACPI\\IFX0101\\4&386388rD&0

According to Google the IFX0101 is an Infineon TPM. I must admit even after skimming through http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/TPM I'm none the wiser

Guys

has anyone found a solution to this one? I've got a Tecra S3 with the same issue, I think it's something related to network adapters, maybe bluetooth. The first machine I've set up didn't have this issue, then the next 3 all have this annoying thing happening. The other prob is that these machines do not like being imaged so I'm stuck doing them one by one....

what is this misterious IFX0101?

As Keytops mentioned above it is an Infineon Trusted Platform Module device. You can try installing this driver and see if it works. cheers ...

OK,

To answer my own question, it's a Infenion Trusted Platform Module , whatever that might be...

the driver for the S3 can be found, where all s3 drivers live.... http://eu.computers.toshiba-europe.c...jsp?service=EU

It worked, the prob is that these things do not like to be imaged.

THere's the RAID issued and then the imaging still fails, so evry one is being set up indivudually, with a WinXP RAID installation and then followed by about 20 driver installs.

It's a crap way of setting up computers, and TOSHIBA is not that good after you've bought it, so suck on it TOSHIBA
