Is there a way to disable one core of a dual core

The Intel proset wireless stuff has a bug that
apparently fails to lock correctly and wedges
itself in some impossible state requiring manual
disabling and reenabling of the software to
recover. (The lock failure may be a XP problem,
or not)

If it's only one core, it won't fall into this
bug.

Thanks for the responses.

Disabling one processor has indeed stopped the wedged Intel Proset issue (so far).
So a lock bug looks like a likely source of the problem, if your Intel Proset
Wireless driver shows this symptom.
