Final Plea for help - still wifi probs after Lion reinstall

[stuartmack1974]

Hi all,

Well ive winged plenty on here about this problem, have tried every potential solution on offer having scoured apple forums, and having last night reinstalled Lion, my macbook still refuses to connect to open wifi networks.

If theyre secure password protected, no probs. But if i head into my local McDs or coffee house with an unsecured network - noi chance.

Ive aded new locations, reset service orders , all of that. Nothing.

If anyone can offer any new radical suffestions, i really would be grateful as my old macbook as the one that gets thrown in the backpack when im out and about, and i really dont want to start taking the MBP everywhere and trashing it.

Thanks in advance of any suggestions,

Stu
