    I attend and work at a univeristy that uses all Cisco wireless AP's. There fore I need a laptop that allows for Leap Authentication. Does anyone know who makes the wireless nic in the M6809 or if it is even capable with an update to work with Leap.

    Thanks

    I believe the NIC is the same as the M6805/07. It uses the Broadcom chip and to the best of my knowledge it does not support the leap authentication. You would need to get the Cisco PCMCIA card to work with it.
