No driver for ExpressCard on MBP 15 Lion

[zerovision]

Ever since I upgraded to OS X Lion my ExpressCard port does not work on my MBP 15. I looked under

About this mac>System report>PCI Cards: ExpressCard: Driver Installed: No
MSI: No
Bus: PCI
Slot: ExpressCard


Anyone know where I can find the drivers for this?

You're going to need to go to the Express Card maker's site and see if they have updated drivers for Lion. You didn't give us any other information about the card?

Doesn't the Macbook Pro need a driver for the ExpressCard slot? I found the drivers for the Lexar CF ExpressCard reader and I am in the process of downloading. Will have to check later if it worked, because card is at home.

Thanks for your help.

No. Since the Express Card slot is built into your MBP, no additional drivers are needed in order for it to work. However, depending on which card you insert, drivers for that particular card may be needed. In your case, updated drivers for Lion are probably what you require.

o.k., I went to mfg website and downloaded the drivers for the card. installed them and rebooted, but it still doesn't recognize the card. Am I doing something wrong?

Probably not. Did they say the drivers were specifically for Lion? If the card was working OK prior to upgrading to Lion, it almost has to be a driver problem.
