KNOWN ISSUES 
-------------

- If your notebook system has the 
    - IBM Dual-Band (802.11a/b) Wi-Fi Wireless Mini PCI adapter
    - IBM 11a/b/g Wireless Mini PCI Adapter
  installed and you install the IBM 11/a/b/g Wireless CardBus Adapter a conflict
  will occur and cause a yellow bang in the device manager indicating the 802.11a/b/g
  Wireless CardBus Adapter is not working properly.  
  This is because the MPCI and CardBus adapters use the same driver and the current
  driver design does not allow for multiple adapters.
  The work around is to disable the adapter that you do not want to use in
  device manager.
