X201s WIFI - remove internal card and use external USB

#1 Post by rasselas » Thu Mar 06, 2014 10:58 pm

I'm finding that the internal WIFi is battling with the ALFA usb WIFI. I'm using Ubuntu. As I only wish to use the external WIFI would it be possible to completely remove the internal card? Would that create any problems?

Thanks.

That would work but an easier way is to disable the WiFi in the BIOS setup.

Press F1 at boot & select: Security > I/O Port Access and set Wireless LAN to Disabled.
