Hi Guyz,

I dont know where to post this....but i am having a very big problem with my wireless adapter.

suddenly during working my connection got lost...i am able to connect thru ethernet.
In device manager..my device manager is showing an excalamation mark over the network adapter with error code as 'Device can not be started'

Dai, i tried with that...windows is also not properly installing
the driver....i was told to check if wireless lan adapter is disabled or not in bios?....please help what to do?

dai · 05-19-2007, 05:00 PM

to enter the the bios look on the bottom on the post screens
one of the will have press such snd such a key now to enter the bios
in there look for a setting worded like onboard devices you should find it in there
if it is disabled click on it and choose enable
isn't there a key on the keyboard to turn it on and off
i am afraid my knowledge of laptops is very limited

me 'adapter state not found in registry'.

What is the model of the laptop?

Try these drivers: http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Deta...ition&lang=eng

i am Toshiba of Equium model.
I can get the drivers from their site.
But somehow the drivers are not getting registered in my windows.
I have latest drivers from Toshiba as well as Intel site, but those did not work.
please help

I had one like this last week. If the wireless is built in, it is located on a little card on the bottom of your laptop.

Shutdown the laptop. Unplug it and remove the battery. Turn it over and look for a small access panel. Should only have one or two screws securing it. Open it up and you should see a small card being held in by 2 clips. Push the clips away from the board. The board should pop up. Remove it and reseat it. Put it all back together and see if your wireless works.

Remember to unplug the power cables coming from the motherboard. They disconnect from the card.
