    Hi All,

    Quick question,
    my p150Hm with bigfoot has the Intel My Wifi Technology: Adapter not found in the taskicon thing bottom right.

    Can I uninstall this software or is bigfoot linked to that somehow?

    Yes uninstall and only point to driver when the hardware is detected or uninstall and clean install of the wifi driver + software. If it is linked then it should fix this problem.

    Usually going to device manager and uninstall the specific network card, "do not delete drivers" and refresh should reinstall it + fix issues in most versions of windows.

    Uninstall it, Its one of those bloatwares that they bundle with the drivers. Its from Intel and you have a BigFoot card. You clearly don't need it.

    The My WiFi software is kind of neat if you want to "pair" other wireless devices with your laptop wireless while not losing internet connectivity. But because you've got a Bigfoot card instead of Intel, it's also 100% useless :)
