I own a P5W DH Deluxe. I have read your paragraph above 6 times and I still
do not know what you are asking.

What "config panel" are you talking about?
What do you mean by "a flag"
What ""Disable" Adapter"" are you talking about?
Are you in BIOS? - What section? What adapter?

Do you own a manual -or- User Guide for this mobo? What page are you
looking at? I can't help you if you can't be more specific.

I'm sorry if you don't understand my bad english.
I have an icon on the Toolmar on the right and on the bottom. This
icon relates to a folder ASUS WI-FI AP Solo. Inside there is RtWLan
icon. If you click on it opens its Panel . I have unable "Disable
Adapter".
Thanks

I found a manual here. Are you using the Asus software ?

The other possibility, is the software could have come from RealTek perhaps.

Maybe if you're using Wireless Zero Config, the function is disabled ?

I am i inexperienced and I don't undestand much readind the manual. In
your opinion is it better to enable or disable Adapter?
I thank you

If you are not using Wi-Fi, it is best to disable the adapter
in the BIOS.

If you are not using Wifi, then click the "disable" box.
If the "disable" box won't work, some options are.

1) Remove the adapter physically. Check to see if there is
a single screw and bracket, holding it in place. In this
picture, mechanical support is near the connector end
of the adapter.

2) Enter the BIOS and go to "USB Configuration". Set "USB Function"
to six ports. My assumption here, is that the Wifi Solo adapter
is connected to USB78. If USB78 is disabled, the Wifi Solo adapter
should disappear.

3) Remove the Wifi Solo software. Perhaps then it will stop working
(as long as Windows Zero Config doesn't pick it up).

4) See if the device is in Device Manager, and disable it there.

I don't have a Wifi Solo here, so I cannot verify that any of these
work. But these are things I would try.

I thank you for your advice but ... I'd like to know if I don't go to
"USB Configuration" etc. etc. will I have some problems?

Paul,
I have the P5B Dlx WiFi, and was considering pulling the WiFi
Solo module to get the extra USB2 ports. The problem is that the
screw is from the back side of the MB, and I was not about to
remove the board just for that, so I added a PCI USB2 card.

Also, the WiFi has its own Enable/Disable setting in the BIOS
under USB Function, but the P5W may be different.

On the P5W there are two screws, one on the back of the motherboard and
the second is accessible on the top of the motherboard at 90 degrees,
but you can get to it if you remove all of your PCIe cards and attack it
with a small enough screw driver.
