    Hi

    I tried to upgrade the wifi on an Eisystem 1211 (also known as uniwill u40) from a Ralink RT87?? to an intel wirelless card. I also tried to upgrade it to an Atheros card. In both cases the new card was not recognised by the laptop. It was not even showing in the device manager.

    Is there a hack around this?
