Wireless network trouble
Gateway MT6916 Laptop, Win Vista Home Prem 32bit, Intel pro Wireless 3945ABG,
Linksys wrt54G. I cannot get the laptop wireless to work, FN &F2 turns on the light but I do not show a wireless device on the taskbar, Device manager shows it "working properly" "not Connected". I downloaded and tried to install the latest drivers but the device driver will not install. I read about Vista hotfix # 932063 but not sure if that will help. How can this be so hard? Something is either wrong or I missed something simple. Help

Wireless network trouble
You might want to pull out the Gateway manual. They may have
installed the Intel Pro-Set utility for the Wifi, which would require you to start that program to enable/disable the Wifi.. Look around in your Start Menu for Pro-Set or Intel Wireless... --- Jeffrey Randow Windows Networking MVP 2001-2006 http://www.networkblog.net On Thu, 06 Dec 2007 14:36:21 GMT, "grfok" u39670@uwe wrote: Gateway MT6916 Laptop, Win Vista Home Prem 32bit, Intel pro Wireless 3945ABG, Linksys wrt54G.

That's part of the problem, no Pro Set utilities installed and when I try to
install them from intell they remove themselves before the install is complete.... Wierd... I think you're on to something with the WIFI though...
