Comment 54 for bug 147560

Hi,

Hi, why did you choose the 3.43 over 1.43 ?

I did some reasearch and found that 1.43 version enables SATA support
(that's why it's for Vista and supporting OS's, XP doesn't do that out of
the box). Note that the 1.43 bios causes the wireless button to have only 2
modes, [BT+WLAN] ON or OFF, no mixed more.

Have you tried it ?

Idan.
