Subject: [OS2Wireless] T30 wifi  suddenly only works on boot and "card not found" e

At first blush, I'd say that you should not use WiFiStat and XWLAN on the same machine. That said, I, too, believe this to be a power management issue. Has anyt
hing changed insofar as drivers are concerned? What version of APM.SYS are you running? Any power management settings in the BIOS?

> Hi,
>    I have been using my T30 with built in Wifi (with IBM prism driver) for the past year with no problems with XWLAN. However, in the last week something weir
d is happening:

t found" and I cannot turn on the radio again because the option is greyed out.
> 
>    In the XWLAN widget, I have XWLAN turn off the radio on boot up and if I try to turn on the radio, it says that it cannot find the card.

ame problem. When I boot to WinXP$ the radio can be turned on/off as many times as I wish.

 MiniPCI card and not PCMCIA.
