[bcab] Re: Advent 4211 wireless probs

Hi tom.

I would send this one privately but I don't know your address and it may be of 
use to some anyway.

Some early versions of the Advent 4211 PC came with Bios version 1.04 which had 
a number of fairly serious issues which included difficulty turning on the PC 
and an unstable wireless connection.

The latest version on the thetechguys website which is pC World's support site 
is version 1.08.  This works well but you can't use the home and end keys so 
that is no good.  There is a version 1.09 which is hidden in the techguys site 
that some people have been provided with to sort this one out.  Alternatively, 
download version 1.07 from the techguys website instead and all should work OK. 
 I can send anyone the 1.09 file if it is required.

Regards

  Partly a curio as I have booked the advent for a repair. Wireless connection 
drops off almost immediately on connection. Have a realtech card with what is 
supposedly the latest drivers from thetechguys site.

  There is supposedly a general prob with this card. does anyone else have this 
or are folk using different wireless cards?

  My first machine's battery failed within a month and it took PC world more 
than a month to get another one so I got a replacement machine. I have had this 
machine for just over a month and problems.

  I really like the concept of the net book, but, beginning to think that 
either I am hell of unlucky or the machine is not what it was cracked up to be. 

  I would be wary about getting one. As the Irish man said when asked the way 
to cork, "If I was you, I wouldn't start from here".
