Claims23
An information handling system, comprising:
- a processor for coupling to a memory;
- a connector for receiving a removable wireless device, the connector selectively outputting a first wireless signal to a discreet logic device and a second wireless signal to the discreet logic device;
- a fixed network controller;
- and
- an indicator coupled to the discreet logic device and shared between the wireless device and the network controller, for indicating multiple non-zero communication speeds of the wireless device, for indicating multiple non-zero communication speeds of the network controller, and for receiving selected outputs from the discreet logic device.
