5750 Wireless problem

Hello, I have had a sager 5750 for 2 months now and Im loving it!

Yesterday, I was surfing the internet over the intel 3945 wireless card, and the connection dropped. I looked at the available networks, and none were present, my friend sitting next to me could see all the networks just fine. So I went to my home, and my wireless network didnt show up either. I looked at another computer and it was showing full signal for my network.

Also, the front display with the clock, does not show the little wireless icon anymore. The drivers are installed properly, and I reinstalled the intel software, the card itself shows up in device manager without any problems.

Does anyone have any ideas? I have contacted sager tech, but they are closed and Im waiting for one of their "call backs" Thanks.

Try configuring Windows Wireless Zero Configuration.

Google it.

Well, I figured it out, there is a function key that turns the wireless card on and off, and i must have accidentally turned it off. So if anyone cant figure out why their wireless card isnt working make sure its turned on!

just came from another thread and he had the same problem but his switch was turned off(he didn't realize he had a switch but knew he had a "function" key).

Sanatarium,

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!! This was just driving me crazy. I was beginning to think there was some kind of hardware failure. For anyone else having the same problem the toggle to turn the WLan on and off is Function + F11. Hope this helps!
