I'm having the same problems as the guys who posted on alt.internet.wireless. I'm using a Dell TrueMobile 1150 on Windows 2000 talking to a Linksys BEFW11S4. The TrueMobile has worked for me, on the same computer, before so I know it's not a compatability problem with the card and the access point. However, recently, every time I try to enable the card, I get a "network cable unplugged" error message. I know it's not the ESSID since I can connect using that id from another computer. I've installed the latest driver and firmware from Dell and called their tech support but no help. Does anyone on this list have this problem? Are there logs that I can turn on to debug the problem? Does someone know the manufacturer/model number (I think it's a lucent card) so I can check their site for the latest scoop.

I've just installed Win2000 in place of the WinXP crap that was on my new Inspiron 8100. The card is the Dell TrueMobile 1150 Mini-PCI and the AP is the D-Link DWL-1000AP. I'm using the latest firmware from D-Link and the latest drivers from Dell, and the Client Manager reports an "Excellent" connection at 100% signal strength, but all ipconfig says is "Cable Disconnected" so I can't configure an IP. I also tried the "DisableDHCPMediaSense" trick, which just caused the whole machine to lock up after reboot. "Cable Disconnected"? Wireless card?
