Re: A netcard driver failed the query for OID_GEN_LINK_SPEED How do you fix? UPDATE

Hi Jeff,
Well, I pulled apart the various panels, used compressed gas, fan spins
easily and everything seems normal, though I rarely seem to hear the fan
kick on aside from startup. I angled the laptop so underside is not on a
flat surface, and with no TV or radio interference, the computer again lost
wireless signal and froze. Dr. Watson detects no faults.

I tried to test the system with a Netgear MA401b card, but from my previous
post on another thread, I cannot get the dang thing to work with my system.
The card does not see the wireless B broadcast at all. So I can't test a
work around with that card.
I talked with the Staples manager [by no means a tech wizard] but he said
that the freeze sounds like an overheat shutdown. But my question is why if,
once I reboot, the computer will again operate for hours without another
freeze? If it were too hot, it would likely be too hot after an immediate
reboot.

Computer may be under warranty, but trying to convince them I have a
hardware problem may be pushing a rock uphill.

Jeff
