This is an OLD laptop but has been working just fine for me.
I have been using my C400 on AC power all this time, and today I just notice that when I boot it on battery, the wireless network card in the PC CARD slot does not appear to be active. It is like the PC CARD is deactivated on battery. Is this true or is there a config setting that I need to change to make it active?

Thanks
