The dell branded wifi adapters are generally broadcomm based. Broadcomm is perhaps one of the worst hardware manufacturers I have ever come across. If you have the choice of another wifi adapter (probably Intel) then take it. With my Latitude, I upgraded from the Dell branded wifi to an Intel one. This turned out to be money well spent. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
