Re: Wireless Internet puzzle

Okay... Disabled BIOS for internal wireless could be so but I am sure the new owners of Thinkpads must be smart to figure out that one. Unless this person works for a company where their security policy has wireless disabled.

I wouldn't give them that much credit. I run a wireless hotspot (not open) and have more than 75 users subscribed and I've run into several that did not know how to turn on their wireless. Now supposedly these guys are traveling tech reps, not your holiday traveler that left their brain at home.

Hell, I've come across some laptops that had wireless disabled in all three places, BIOS, hardware switch, and keyboard fn key. Now throw Vista's security into the mix and it is a surprise if anyone without a computer science degree can get it to work.
