Re: Hardware profiles

This way, you can use your built-in WiFi at HotSpots, when you really don't need an antenna; then switch over to your favorite PCMCIA card (TM 1150?) to use an external antenna. Since one card is 'off' and one 'on', depending on which profile you pick, they won't interfere with each other.

I'm sure there's a way to do this through Linux as well.

It works for me!
HTH!

ergh - but I'm a poor college student - and I pretty much went broke buying this laptop. I'm not sure I could manage to pay for another wifi card. Pretty much whatever cash I have left is for booze err I mean books.
