    I got a c90s and i didnt get the internal wifi card when i bought it. I heard people had some trouble with it not working on battery. is there any internal or external wifi card i can buy that will work on battery?

    Just get a newer intel model you should be fine. That issue was very rare and we had a fix for it. Usualy just involved turning off power saver in the device manager for the card.

    Some of hte Intel 4965 wifi adapters do not work, but if you get it from one of the resellers, then it should be fine. Mine works fine on battery.

    EDIT: Dang. Vicious beat it to me.

    BTOtech might have them. Both Eddie and Ken will work with you to get a working wireless card.
