Happy to update the 802.11abg driver

#1 Post by Deckard » Fri Oct 21, 2005 11:53 am

I have been experiencing connection drops between my X31 and the Netgear WGT624 wireless router. The interesting thing is that the laptop used to lose the connection only once after rebooting or waking up from stand-by. Yes, only once, then it automatically established the connection again.

Today, I ran the Software Installer to check for the latest upgrades. I noticed the new driver for the 802.11abg card, installed it. And voila, no more connection drops. It works fine, I tested it three times to be sure. (3x reboot, 3x wake-up)

Just a heads up.
