This weekend, my NC exhibited a strange behavior - it would shut down when connecting to a new network. This happened a couple of times, and seemed consistent. Generally, it would connect after a full restart or two - very irritating.

Searching the web didn't seem to pull up anyone experiencing the same issue, so I was at a loss. Then it occurred to me that perhaps the problem was the number of networks that I had connected to previously. The NC is my primary on-the-road communicator, so I have an extensive list of networks on the device.

Yesterday I deleted a number of rarely used network descriptions, and last night had no issue connecting to a new network. Hooray, no shutdown!

This isn't definitive yet, but if you have the same problem perhaps it will help.
