Intel's Centrino may crash Windows when used with VPNs - Computerworld - Notebook and laptop computers based on Intel Corp.'s new mobile and wireless Centrino chip architecture can experience a "blue screen" crash in Windows XP when running widely distributed virtual private network (VPN) security software from Nortel Networks Ltd., according to Mike Schexnaydre, a Nortel software engineer.
Schexnaydre said Nortel has determined that the blue-screen crash, in which the operating system stops functioning, stems from problems with the Network Driver Interface Specification within Intel's PROSet software.

This could a bit of a problem for law schools that are recommending laptops since many use some sort of VPN to control access WiFi LANsand other online resources.
