    Hello gals and guys. I'm the happy owner of a cheap but reliable Inspiron B120. I recently bought an Intel Pro 2915 Wireless card. One thing that I noticed is that with the Dell 1370 card, the wireless green light is steady and solid (aka it doesnt blink). However, when I install the 2915, the green light blinks constantly . Its very annoying. I tried different drivers, both Dell's and Intel's. Any ideas? Please let me know. I was even thinking of trading the 2915 for a Dell 1470. Please let me know soon. Thnx :)

    It is most likely a problem with the Intel card. Several of us have intel cards, and after a certain amount of time, our WIFI light goes out. It doesn't affect our internet, but like you said it is annoying.
