Intel said today that it has turned off software in its family of mobile processors that could cause some Centrino-powered notebooks to crash when used with a virtual private network under the Windows or Windows XP operating system.
Yesterday, Nortel Networks in Brampton, Ontario, said it had determined that Centrino-powered notebooks crash when running Nortel"s Contivity VPN client. Nortel has shipped more than 50 million copies of Contivity, according to a company spokesman.
