    Am I right to assume they shouldn't have shipped this module of the DCP?

    Since there's still no wifi I can't configure anything. Without the CM I can't use the wifi catcher. And with no CM I can't get the blue signal LED to lighten up right? Or is the blue signal power LED for WWAN card only?

    Sorry for the newbish questions... Guess I should RTFM but I didn't :eek: .

    Any BETA to try on?

    It seems that without it I can't use the Wi-fi catcher, but I really don't care. My wi-fi works fine without it, and the Wi-fi light is on. The signal bar light is for WWAN.

    Ok, that's what I thought. Thanks for confirming. They should have made a top cover without the signal bars for those who don't have WWAN. I can't imagine the number of support calls about the same dummy question as mine lol...

    Meh, they have been putting the bluetooth LEDs on there for ages. I suppose that is why they actualy wrote "Wi-fi" on the LED for these whereas they usually just put a wireless signal waves logo.
