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 ?


  Settings
  + Wireless
    + Wireless Switch
    |    WWAN           checked
    |    WLAN           checked
    |    Bluetooth      checked
    +  Wireless Device Enable
         WWAN           checked
         WLAN           checked
         Bluetooth      checked


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.


Agreed.


Damn infernal computers and networks...

Too easy, not funny ^^
