I was going to surf eBay and find another Wi-Fi card, but then I had one
last idea -- double-checking the the CMOS/NVRAM settings via Setup. I
cut the settings down to the bare minimum for Wi-Fi:
Settings
+ Wireless
+ Wireless Switch
| WWAN unchecked
| WLAN checked
| Bluetooth unchecked
+ Wireless Device Enable
WWAN unchecked
WLAN checked
Bluetooth unchecked
-> Apply
-> Exit
Wow, good job, didn't think about the firmware.
For info, what were the settings BEFORE you changed them ?
I know the machine has Wi-Fi and it does not have WWAN. I don't know if
the Wi-Fi card includes Bluetooth. But, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it'.
Don't touch anything, and look up your card on the net ;)
If you don't use it now, maybe you'll need it one day, and you may have
forgotten you disabled it in the FW.
Damn infernal computers and networks...
Too easy, not funny ^^
