    Well, last wednesday I finally got my M860TU barebone from rjtech. I managed to install everything correctly, but I have yet to make the the Wireless Card work and I dont know if it because of hardware problems (bad installation maybe) or software problems (bad drivers)... so here are my questions:

    - Anybody knows where each antenna goes inside the machine? I followed this thread where it says where each cable goes, but I'm not sure that applies for all notebooks and inside the M860TU the cables covers are black, red and transparent... so I put black on slot 2, transparent on slot 1 and red on slot 3. Did I do it right?

    and...

    - Which driver should I install? Im running Windows 7 RC 64bit... I have tried the drivers on intel, they recognize the card but the card can't find my router... plus it breaks my system startup and I have to delete it in safe mode. I am currently downloading some generic Intel WLAN drivers from eurocom, to see if they work...

    Thanks in advance.

    EDIT: I redownloaded the drivers from Intel, and ran their WIFI manual diagnostic utility... It said that the hardware, driver, and radio test passed, but the scan test didn't, which meant that it couldn't find any WiFi network... all the other computers in my home are able to find my router and other random networks from other houses. Any ideas?
