Re: why is wireless networking card not recognized after PC turned off ?

Jeff
good thought but can't be heat - after leaving the machine off all night it
fails to recognize the card in the am
I'll try my luck with tech support again. They will probably ask me again
to try it in a new slot
thx

I doubt this is hardware problem. Any ideas why doesn't see the hardware
dependably each time I boot it up?

Weird. I'm not so sure it's not hardware. Any possibility it's a
heating problem? After it fails to recognize the card, unplug the
machine and let it cool down. Note that I said *UNPLUG* the machine.
The machine has WOL (wake on LAN) which keeps the power applied to all
networking cards even when the power is allegedly turned off.
