Hi
I have a strange problem on my laptop, It is a new centrino laptop and i
have been using the wirelss connection for a long time.
suddenly today I am not able to connect to a wireless network as I dont see
my icons in the status bar searching for wireless connections.
so I go to the properties of the network places and i dont even see the
wireless network connection icon, I can only see the local area network
connection and soem 1394 connection.

any ideas on what i should do to get the wireless network connection back
again.

please help
Avi

Do you remember doing anything that might have removed a driver from your
system?

Have you checked the Device Manager to see if your card is still listed and
the drivers are installed and working normally?

Try updating the drivers, or remove the adapter and reinstall.

Yes, under device manager I can still my wireless intel pro network card. I
didnt do anything to remove the network cards.
ethernet and wireless both network cards still show in the devices with no
error signs next to it.

are you recommending I remove the wireless network device and add it back.
cheers

I would suggest if you can't get it to work that you remove it from device
manager and let it reinstall. If for some reason you had deleted the
registry entries needed, they should have been rebuilt, it seems to me, but
you might need the extra step.

As far an I know, and I am no expert, if you have a wireless adapter
installed, it should show up in the network connections area. If you are so
inclined, plug in a PCMCIA wireless card and see if it shows up.
