    Hi guys, I'm on an M17x R4 with the Intel Wireless-N 2230. When I try to run the Silicon Image WiHD Application downloaded from the drivers page it comes up with the following error:

    Failed to initialize...please ensure wireless connection is on. [010100]
    Warning: Cannot open... port has been removed

    Any ideas?

    Did you acquire at the time of the purchase the wireless HD card? It was an upgrade that you had to select there.
