Hi,

I've just installed one of these mini adapter cards into a Dell Studio 1749 laptop.

The wireless works fine, brilliantly in fact. Except every 10 - 15 seconds Windows 7 decides that it has found new hardware.

The message that keeps popping up is "USB Device Not Recognised" - This is definitely related to the card as it doesn't occur when I remove it.

I'm very confused! Any help much appreciated as usual.

Cheers,

Alex

wow nice hack/fix, I think I would have given up before that

I tried to replace the wireless G card in my laptop with a wireless N one, except for reasons only HP think are fine, they have added a whitelist to the laptop BIOS that prevents you booting with any other card installed

The new N card works 100% if I hot swap it during POST, so there is no reason for them to block it except to be awkward, and my version laptop BIOS seems impossible to remove the whitelist from

Thats crazy! Have you searched online for any bios mods? I did a quick google and found this: http://www.bios-mods...itelist-Removal

There's also some info here: http://www.rechner.org/b1800_bios.html

Go on - be brave! :p

haha yea I have been brave with about 3 or 4 different apparently modded whitelist removed versions for my laptop, they all get me past POST with the N card installed, but all of them freeze the laptop when I enable wireless

    • Microsoft's fast coding model MAI-Code-1-Flash comes to Copilot Business and Enterprise by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft’s recently announced MAI-Code-1-Flash model is now generally available to GitHub Copilot Business and Copilot Enterprise customers. With this support, organizations can have more centralized policy controls and billing while finally being able to use Microsoft’s lightweight, first-party coding model. According to GitHub’s announcement, Business and Enterprise plan administrators must enable the MAI-Code-1-Flash policy in Copilot settings before developers can access the model. Microsoft says that MAI-Code-1-Flash is for fast, iterative coding work rather than the most demanding architectural or debugging tasks. GitHub’s official model comparison page says that the model is great for "general-purpose coding and writing," while it excels at fast, accurate code completions and explanations Microsoft introduced MAI-Code-1-Flash on June 2 as part of a broader collection of internally developed MAI models. GitHub subsequently expanded support to Copilot CLI, the Copilot cloud agent, GitHub.com chat, GitHub Mobile, Visual Studio, JetBrains IDEs, Eclipse, and Xcode, but said support for managed Business and Enterprise customers was still on the way. In Microsoft’s own benchmark testing, MAI-Code-1-Flash scored 51.2% on SWE-Bench Pro, compared with 35.2% for Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 4.5. Microsoft also claimed that the model used up to 60% fewer tokens on SWE-Bench Verified. Do note that these are vendor-run results rather than independent measurements. The model is billed at provider list pricing under GitHub’s usage-based system. GitHub currently lists MAI-Code-1-Flash at $0.75 per million input tokens, $0.075 per million cached input tokens, and $4.50 per million output tokens. For organizations, the main incentive to use MAI-Code-1-Flash is likely to be efficiency rather than maximum capability. A smaller model that responds quickly and limits unnecessary output is quite useful for repetitive agent tasks at scale, especially after GitHub Copilot’s move toward usage-based billing. The "Flash" model is recommended for fast work and not necessarily for huge repositories with loads of context. It's better if teams compare their output with other larger models, especially if they're working on security-sensitive changes and complex, multi-file work.
    • yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration
