RE: Wireless Mini-PCI

No problems.. I was hoping that it would. As when we installed a Wireless
card into a Compaq M700, it would not recognise it either. And after running
NEAT, it was detected and we could configure it from there. Anyway... Sorry
can't help you any further... (Don't have an Aironet card to test).
