  • what is the full model number?

    you can, but I doubt that it will make any difference to your wireless issue.

  • greennotm has posted this link further up your thread, if you search for the 3rd firmware reference, there are some instructions..

    http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?rb=15809466043&action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X3Jldmlld3M=&product_uid=94178

    if there are wireless drivers available to update, then that might be worthwhile, I was talking about the other drivers, audio etc.. doubt that they will fix your problem

    Microsoft now provide optional hardware updates - updates to the drivers :T See item 8 on this page :hello:

    As SP2 did break/cripple some wireless card drivers :eek: . Anyway the problem is unusual it is best to see if they have any available and work you way thru the rest of the list...

    My previous link to the ebuyer reviews gives the version of the firmware you need .. will edit this in a min ...
