    hi, i will be replacing my laptop battery as soon as the new one gets here; in the mean time, i cannot connect to my wireless network with the battery in its present condition; i am wondering if there is really a connection between a 'weak' battery and the laptop's ability to find it's wireless connection...there has not been an issue connecting to the network before the battery issue appeared; if there is a connection, what can i do about it before the new battery arrives? Remove the existing battery and rely 100% on AC? this seems odd that it is occuring.
    thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts.
