Re: wireless card misrecognition problems

Hi

        Interesting, it would seem to explain why changing the CPU speed (my other
message) might cause it to work.

        I originally ordered it from Compaq and it is a bit of a pain to send it back.
I hope they accept my story of a hardware problem since they probably can't test it.

Thanks for your kind response
Larry
