My wpi wireless never was reliable, but since I upgraded to 8gb RAM it doesn't do anything (if I'm lucky) or panic my system. So, after some discussion on STABLE I followed the recommendation to get an Atheros card for 10$ on ebay. Today the card arrived and the BIOS complains (HP 6510b): 104-Unsupported wireless network device detected. System halted. Remove device and restart. The system boots if I turn off the wireless device in BIOS, but this means I cannot use it. Now, I could just get a BIOS image and exchange the device IDs there. But I wonder, wouldn't it be easier to just reactivate the PCIe slot through the OS? -- A: Because it fouls the order in which people normally read text. Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing? A: Top-posting. Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?
