    the wireless (intel -pro2200BG) on my t42 (windows xp pro) is on the brinks...it fails to recognize the available network and when i try to disable it, it hangs up, preventing the computer to shutoff in the normal way.

    is there anyway to disable the wireless card till i can spare the laptop to send for service??

    thanks

    When you say you tried to disable it, what did you do?

    right click on the icon at the bottom. results-

    1. select disable, some times it disables, some times it hangs up
    2. select connect, some times it connects, some times it says progress but hangs up
    3. similar unpredictable result with repair

    thanks

    Did you try disabling it in Device Manager?
