** I can only get the adapter to make one wireless connection per boot. If I get kicked off wireless or I try to change AP's I have to reboot. The restricted IPW driver tends to destabalize the system. The IWL driver is much more stable but still has the same connection problem. Any thoughts?? Lenovo R61i.<br />

== Sharing experience ==<br />
<br />
I understand that considerations below might not necessary be of importance for everybody, however since I owe this card I thought I share few of my own experiences with it.<br />
Card:<br />
1) lacks promiscuous mode sniffing capability in Windows (which I feel is must for most network techs and security oriented people).<br />
2) does not work with aircrack tools<br />
3) in order to see what is current signal strength it is necessary to hover mouse over icon on taskbar and read info from pop-up baloon (bit irritating). Strengths are shown as “Good”, “Fair”, “Poor” etc. I feel much preferable way of displaying signal strength is to present users with dynamically changing visual meter in card utility, which show signal in decibels as oppose to say “Fair” - God knows what and how many db.<br />
4) to see what type of encryption network use (as visible in all networks view) in cards utility, it is necessary to hover mouse over a network name and read info from pop-up balloon (irritating again).<br />
5) values from network properties as MAC for instance cannot be copied to clipboard.<br />
6) to my knowledge it is not possible once card is installed, to disable cards connection managing utility and allow Windows to manage wireless connections.</div>X-manhttps://www.thinkwiki.org/w/index.php?title=Ipw4965&diff=35237Ipw49652007-12-19T05:11:17Z<p>X-man: /* Flaws */</p>

- in order to see what is current signal strength it is necessary to hover mouse over icon on taskbar and read info from pop-up baloon (bit irritating). Strengths are shown as “Good”, “Fair”, “Poor” etc. I feel much preferable way of displaying signal strength is to present users with dynamically changing visual meter in card utility, which show signal in decibels as oppose to say “Fair” - God knows what and how many db.<br />
- to see what type of encryption network use (as visible in all networks view) in cards utility, it is necessary to hover mouse over a network name and read info from pop-up balloon (irritating again).<br />
- values from network properties as MAC for instance cannot be copied to clipboard.<br />
- to my knowledge it is not possible once card is installed, to disable cards connection managing utility and allow Window to manage wireless connections.</div>X-man
