Greetings List,

In preparartion for broadband service coming my way, since Radio Shack had their
Linksys routers on sale, I picked up one today. While setting everything up to
change from my current Ad Hoc 801.11 setup between my two Thinkpads at home, I
just noticed that on my A30p, the wireless network card does not appear when I
run the Windoze IP config tool.

The only thing displayed was of course PPP etc. and my hardwire network card. I
disabled the hardwire card in device manager just to get it out of the way
temporarily, but the Wireless still doesn't shop up.

But the wireless card is working fine, I have one of the drives of my 770z
(which I have a PCMCIA wireless card installed) mapped and have access to it now
wirelessly.

Can anybody offer a clue as to what's happening?

Thanks,
Dave
