[Thinkpad] Windows Update *May* Break Access Connections

[Stuart F. Biggar]

> Any clues?

With an A21p, I've had issues with good contact between
the miniPCI card and the socket.  If you R51 has a miniPCI
wireless card, I might remove it from the socket and reseat
all the connections.  That fixed various problems with failed
and dropped ethernet connections with my (now old but still
working) A21p.
