Issues Cisco MiniPCI Wireless and R40

[JoeJMCO]

I've got a R40 with an IBM Option Cisco Aironet Wireless card. Starting two weeks ago, I had to physically reseat the card every time the PC (running XP-Pro) is shut down so that I can access the Cisco MPCI card on reboot. Though the card worked will with the internal antenna, I decided that MacGyvering a MiniPCI card in the airport was the last straw and bought a PC Card adapter.

My question is has any one else seen an issue where the MiniPCI card goes dead on reboot, but will work OK once reseated?

Thanks,

Joe

Maybe there is somthing wrong with your mini pci card.

I have the same combo (r40 and cisco mini-pci) - did you happen to upgrade the bios? I know the R40 is picky about cards it supports (although this is one it supports), but people have reported issues here with cards that were not supported by their bios card list and reseating would work to allow a single reboot...just a thought - may be totally off base.
