More info?)
Yes, I've checked the manual and do the installation exactly as it was
wroten. Still nothing. In BIOS there is no option to enable/disable Wi-Fi
slot. The Card was seated a couple of times to make sure that it was done
correctly. External antenna is connected all the time. And still the same -
no positive results
Any idea's ?
