It may depend on the card he is using (the mifi card, not the wifi card in
the bn). From what I have read, mifi should broadcast a normal wifi signal,
but use a cellular connection to carry out requests for internet-based
resources, requests given by the computer through the wifi. In theory, then,
it should all work just fine, but practice may prove to be a different
story. As long as the Sprint card is giving off a normal wifi signal,
though, I cannot see why it would not work. My only suggestion will likely
not help, but here goes:
Go to options > connectivity > wireless ethernet > wireless ethernet
options. On the option about what types of networks to scan for, select "all
available". This is the default, so it should already be set to this
setting, but it is worth a look. Can you provide a model number for the
Sprint card?
Have a great day,
Alex

Subject: [Braillenote] has anyone done this?
Hello all,
I have a student who has a sprint Mifi setup. I believe it is a g
network. Is anyone familiar with this, and have you used it before? I
just want to know if we are going to have trouble with the wireless cards
that are used with the Bn, or if we need a specific wireless? He is
currently trying to scan for it with a Sandisk wifi, and it doesn't see
it. No, the wireless is not hidden. It is Mifi not Wifi. Thanks for
any help anyone can give.
Regards,
Sam (Access Education)
