is to add a PCMCIA or USB wireless adapter and see if that works. A positive response would eliminate a software problem and point to a failing onboard wireless adapter.
I'm using a Gateway M520S notebook and 5200S desktop (both purchased within 2 months) I set up the home network with a Linksys wireless G 2.4 mh router and all worked fine until last week. Now, my notebook can't see my network, and is unable to connect to any wireless network. It also is now unable to see any wireless networks in range, even though I am sitting next to my desktop or at work.
I've spoken to both Linksys and Gateway and tried to work out the problem. Finally, Gateway suggests returning the notebook to them as they think it could be a bad wireless card or other bad internal issue that they have to open up the notebook to see.
anything else I should do before I return to Gateway and wait 2 weeks for my notebook to return? Thanks
