Hi
thank you for response
I have no such option in the BIOS, in fact there are very few options in there...
what can I do in this case ?

I've also tried these devices on a few OSs
OpenSolaris 10:
Broadcom netlink chips officially not supported
Intel PRO/wireless 3945ABG is recognized using wpi driver but it doesn't work
it can never find or connect to any network (it might be so because I'm too lame to make it work)

Linux 2.6:
Broadcom netlink chip -> works
Intel PRO/wireless 3945ABG -> same as on Solaris but using the linux driver

windows vista:
both work
