Re: Two wireless adapters in one laptop ???

Here is an update:

The Linksys unit never did work right. All day Friday and Saturday,
it would not even see the router which is only a few inches away. I
returned the unit the the store yesterday. I may try another type of
Linksys but if the problem is driver related I would like to try a
different make.

My local Best buy and Staples carry D-Link and Netgear USB Wireless
adapters - all within the same price range. Any preference to either
one ??

Thanks.

Hmm...

I thought there is something thing called,

microsoft.public.windows.networking.wireless, or may be it just too late at
night. ;)

In any case, as Steve posted bellow you can install a second card (even if
you leave the current card as is).

Something is wrong with your Linksys Card installation, might be that you
"Ghosted" it at the first attempt.

I have an IBM Thinkpad with a built-in Intel Wireless Pro Mini PCI
adapter with a max speed of 11MB. I would like to try a Linksys
wireless G adapter to see if I get better signals. I have a
Speedstream 6520 WirelessG modem/router. The linksys adapter
sometimes sees the router but cannot connect. Most of the time it
does not see the router. I disabled the Intel built-in but it does
not help. If I switch to the Intel and remove the Linsys, I get a
connection.
Is there any special way to try this out ? How can I get the Wireless
G adapter to work ?

Thanks.
