Windows can't find any networks
Vista up to date on a laptop
Symptom: IE 7 crashes or encounters a webpage it doesn't like (certain ebay webpages for instance). Wireless networking stops working (red X in network connection notification icon). Thereafter the ONLY way to get Vista to see any networks is to reboot. FPITA. Refresh wireless network list does NOT work. If IE7 doesn't encounter a webpage it doesn't like, can stay connected to my wireless network all day long.

Windows can't find any networks
I updated the driver for the buiilt in wi-fi card today from Windows update.
We'll see if that helps. But I think it was a security update to IE7 that started this problem several months ago. I know - logically there is no link between IE7 and Vista's ability to maintain/find a[ny] wireless network, but...
