Hello mluggers!
I've been fighting with the on-board wireless (Intel 3954) in my T60
ever since I got it. At home it works perfectly, good speeds and the
connection never drops out. But if I bring it anywhere where a bunch of
people are using the same access point the connection drops frequently
and it takes a significant amount of time for it to come back.
Restarting the network manager daemon normally speeds things up but it's
still very annoying.
Personally (for both cost and ease of finding it) I would find the
smallest USB wifi adapter I could and strip it down even more. Then use
a very short usb cable to go around the back of the system and velcro it
to a blank space somewhere. Disable internal network card and voila. I
have done this myself, use the good industrial velcro stuff, I even used
to attach an external hard drive to my eeepc like this.
It is even conceivable you could mount it inside somewhere and connect
to an internal USB header.
Not as nice as having the stock one, but with that BIOS bullcrap and the
high cost of the internal cards...
Have you looked into filing a bug report on it?
Jeremy
