[Ti] TiBook and Airport Card

[Kynan Shook]

Presumably, this is 10 feet, line-of-sight.  Some materials are really 
bad for wireless transmission.  Check for the usual culprits; 
fluorescent lights, microwave ovens, 2.4 GHz cordless phones or other 
devices...  You may get better reception if you point the antennas on 
the side towards the base station itself.

If that all fails, you may want to check the cable in your TiBook; it 
may have been pinched between the top and bottom case, which will 
inhibit reception much like you are finding.  If all else fails, you 
may need to take the computer in to be repaired.
