Vista updates uninstall Atheros WiFi adapter on new laptop
After having to System Restore 3 times I figured out that somewhere in the 31 Vista Updates an action is deleting my Atheros AR5007 802.11b/g WiFi Adapter. It just disappears from the Device Manager listing. Any ideas?? thanks! -- rally2613

I suspect what is happening is that you have your Windows Updates set to Automatic and you're getting an "update" for your wireless adapter. You don't want this. Control PanelWindows Updates You'll see where you can change settings. Provide authentication to the UAC prompt when asked. Now change your WU settings to "download and let me know when they're ready" (I'm paraphrasing) instead of Automatic. When updates are ready, you'll see where you can examine what they are. Uncheck/hide any driver updates. To get your wireless adapter back with the right drivers, install the drivers from the computer mftr.'s tech support website for your specific model machine.
