why in the world does a wireless card need power management features anyway? And I thought you said the wireless was up except that one connection to the internet?
For what it is worth, it is a fact that one of the 802.11 protocols (I think but don't quite remember for sure that it is b) is notorious for being interfered with by cordless phones. The solution as I recall was going to to the newer iteration, g as I recall. To check what I am saying here google the various 802.11 flavors and check out the the frequencies they use, then look up the frequency your cordless phone uses. I am sure this is true -- just not sure which lettered protocol is which. Also, a war story I was once told by someone reliable involved a microwave that caused wireless connections to drop every time someone nuked their lunch. hope that helps Dana On Dec 29, 2007 11:13 AM, Shawna Hampton <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Dell 1390 WLAN Mini-card > > Fingers crossed ...
