Hello. I am using a MacBook Pro 2010 model with Windows 7 installed in Bootcamp partition. I don't thing there is anything wrong with the wireless card as I can connect to wireless networks most of the time. However, it has happened several times that in a few public areas in Asia that provided free wifi access, people with inexpensive Windows netbooks could logon on to the wireless networks instantly while on my MBP, I could not connect to the wifi networks under both Snow Leopard and Windows 7. I asked those netbook users. They said that they did not do anything. Their netbooks just connected to the networks automatically and instantly. Anybody knows what is wrong?
