My wireless adapter failed at the last BayWarp meeting. It seems I forgot to
bring the power adapter. No problem, I thought, I'll just run on battery.

But the Wireless adapter didn't init -- XWLAN said no card detected. I got
home, plugged it in, and then the Wireless adapter worked normally.

I can unplug it, and it works OK. But if I boot on battery, it doesn't work.
The notebook  is a Thinkpad T43. The adapter is an Intel 2915 ABG.

Any ideas for making it work on battery?

Thanks,
Neil
  
Hi Neil,

 A well known problem - you need to go into the bios/cmos and turn off the cpu power control "speedstep" (where the CPU is slowed down when on battery.

 In the power management page in CMOS you need to scroll down as this is one of the options that is not initially visible on the screen.

Cheers/2

Ed.
