BIOS Updates forum

I was just wondering if turning off the antennas would save battery power? Better to use an old card than to have to buy something different!

Cheers!

Got my NC6000 working again, finally. Took another chance and flashed the revised binary with semi's changes for my TI wireless card. It has worked through several days and many reboots, so I am convinced that it is stable. However wireless radio button has no effect. Maybe this is to be expected si...
