Legal requirements dictate that a security screw (or other
means) be used to attach the mini-PCI cover to the chassis
in a manner that restricts end user access. End users are
strictly prohibited from having access to the wireless card.

Legal requirements dictate the mini-PCI cover be in place
during any and all operation of the notebook's wireless
