    I just bought a CM860TU from ahtec, it comes with intel 5100 wifi card

    i installed windows XP Sp3, everything works but wifi card, notebook manual says press "Fn+F11" to turn it on, but nothing happen when i press it.

    i installed last drivers from intel webpage, not work
    i reinstall Cd drivers from ahtec, not work
    i used (WZC) , still not work
    i installed a D-link air pluss USB wifi, and it works fine.
    all shortcuts (Fn+F9,F10,F12) work fine, but Fn+F11

    hope, some can help me, im getting mad with this problem. Thank you

    PD.Sorry my english is not very good.

    Open bottom of laptop and see if card is seated firmly. Check for loose wires.

    Check with your reseller, possibly you have a bad card or a faulty keyboard
