sorry should have given a bit more info.
the laptop has a mini pcmcia AZUREWAVE 802.11b/g wireless card in it which comes up in device manager as Realtek RTL8187 Wireless 802.11b/g 54Mbps USB 2.0 Network Adapter, I assume because this is the wireless chip the Azureware card uses. I downloaded the latest drivers i could find and it works perfectly when its on. The problem is when i switch my laptop off and then on again the wireless card is still enabled in windows but it says no wireless networks in range, so i assume that the radio is off and i have to press the wireless hotkey on my laptop to turn it back on again. I have looked at all the settings in bios,network settings, device manager etc but cant get it to stay on after a reboot. I have also tried installing the Realtek wireless manager software to see if that can turn on the radio at boot but theres no option there.
