[QUOTE="idkfa, post: 692999, member: 61210"] Progress! Well, sort of. The 8 hour long hardware test detected no issues, but another interesting thing happened. After restarting my computer (not in safe mode), Airport is gone. There is no icon in the bar, it says it is turned off in the Network pane, and it is greyed out under "Network Port Configurations". I am currently using an ethernet cable, and so far, so good. I guess it is safe to assume that it was indeed the Airport card and nothing else? I read these steps to deactivate the Airport: [URL="http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?p=1456753"]http://forums.bit-tech.net/showthread.php?p=1456753[/URL] Should I do this? I would like to ensure that Airport does not ever turn back on somehow. I suppose I am good to get a USB WiFi adapter, unless someone has a different opinion. :) [/QUOTE]
