Dx30 BIOS updates indicate improved compatiblity with 1390/1490 WLAN cards. Details?
Dell has posted BIOS updates for all of their Dx30 laptops (D430, D630, etc.). Each of those updates has an intriguing line (note Bold below). What I want to know is, what exactly is this improved compatibilty? What effect will this update actually have? Please spare me speculation - what I'm interested in is hard technical detail - any Dell reps out there with the details?
example: BIOS: Dell Latitude D430 System BIOS, English, Latitude D430, A06
Fixes/Enhancements
------------
1. Improve compatibility with Dell Wireless 1390 & 1490 Dell WLAN.
2. Improve setup and HD password operation.
3. Fixed: System Hangs on Resume from S3 with Driver Verifier enabled.
4. Fixed: Lock ups due to rapid opening and closing of the lid.

hilljcumich:
From what I'm being told, this enhancement in the BIOS fixes a compatibility issue between the Dell Wireless 1390/1490 and some PCMCIA cards. With previous BIOS releases, the system *may* hang when both devices are attached.
I would suggest only updating if you are experiencing said issues. Hope this helps.
