    I've got a notebook here which I think is a M73T? Could be very wrong here but 75% sure?

    It is definitely this notebook though: ????? SPARQ GT32-P87LED ???? :: ????? ?? ! ??? (????) - Danawa.com

    If that helps identify!

    It is sporting an Intel 5100 wifi card and it is giving me tonnes of hassle, keeps dropping out/never finds a connection/ connects to the home network here in my house (N router) but the status in the start bar doesn't update so looks like is still connected and vice versa/ then drops out some more etc, I've read lots of stories on google about how poor this card is and does need some help to get going, wondering if anyone here has some specific M73T input?

    The noteboook is running XP which might not help? But does have the latest drivers installed, which again might not help? The Router is N speed and currently running no security to even out the problem solving, nothing wrong with it though as my Vaio connects to it all day everyday no problems.

    So yeah, tried searching the forum here but nothing comes up? Any owners help out? Last ditch is to replace the card with an intel 5300 but would rather not spend the money on it tbh!
