| | Enabling/disabling device on hardware profile Just upgraded my Laptop from XP to Vista and lost some important functionality: In XP I could enable/disable devices based on the hardware profile. I used this for the WiFi adaptor. When the machine is docked the WiFi adaptor was disabled and it used the docking ports 1GB network adaptor. On un-docking it, it was enabled, so that I could roam the office and still have connectivity (albeit at a WiFi speed). In Vista, I either have to have the WiFi ALWAYS enabled, or NEVER enabled. ALWAYS causes problems with two connections simultaneously - Vista gets itself confused and does not necessarily use the fast connection (ie 1GB). NEVER is no good - I cannot access the network. So I now, have to manually enable/disable the device when I undock/dock the laptop... |
