    Maybe check in the BIOS for settings? Not for sure....

    Edit-- Just curious... do you have a router that supports 450Mbps and is that what you are able to connect at?

    Are you telling me your wifi indicator is flashing in unison with the HDD activity indicator? This just started when you swapped wireless cards?
