There were plenty of reasons to think this was going to fix the problem. I tried the turn wireless netork on and off as well. Controlling the radio from a button on the keyboard (or a function key) (mine is FN +F2) is another reason to think of the two as seperate items.īefore reaching this conclusion I tried using "allow the computer to turn this device off to save power" I also had tried Hi performance modes and other wireless radio from the control pannel in both plug-in and battery modes. But the important part is that a laptop usually devides the two up to save power. When you think about it as one device it is easy to see why so many people assume the problem is with the wireless lan card. The wireless lan card is the ethernet card. the radio is compared to the cord of an ethernet connection. Microsoft and Atheros need to release a damned proper driver to fix the problem. Think of your wireless lan as two seperate devices. Microsoft, Atheros and Linksys cant play nicely together. You need the origional driver for that strip, even if your volume on the strip is working.īackground. The HOT KEY strip (the one with the buttons that turn white when you touch them just above the keyboard) on my laptop also controls the Wi-Fi Radio on/off button. But I incorrectly pointed the finger at the wirless lan driver. I just had this problem when I reinstalled the OS from the OEM disc (not the factory install disc) I figured the OEM disc had a driver conflict.
