The lobby does have a stronger signal than surgery room. Why you wouldn't be able to connect would just be strange.
They can't tell the OS, I was being sarcastic...sorry. Maybe there might be something wrong with your wifi-manager. "wicd-client" is @ version 1.7.0 according to their website. Do you have the latest version. According to this post, reinstalling the OS seems to have fixed it. Not a lot of info, but it might lead us into the right direction. I think his version was 1.66.xx or something. http://wicd.net/punbb/viewtopic.php?id=745 ~Ciao~ On Thu, Aug 4, 2011 at 2:08 PM, Rich Shepard <[email protected]>wrote: > On Thu, 4 Aug 2011, Dave Johnson wrote: > > > Latest network drivers for the Wi-Fi cards are loaded? > > Yep.
