booting now, gonna test it, if this works... lol

edit:

no luck!

I have noticed that some bioses have a setting that can turn the wifi card on and off, can you check to see if yours does?

There is a a link to your model and it's current drivers. Perhaps try both the wireless drivers listed there and see if you have any luck...


The other thing we can do to check to see if it is a hardware issue is, run ubuntu live and see if it recognizes that there is a wireless card there. If it does, then we know that it's an OS related issue.

i went into the bios and theres no wifi setting

have tried the drivers listed there, no luck!

have never used ubuntu, erm. google time i guess!

edit: its 2am, i shall be back in the morning. thanks for the help guys! im tempted to just buy a cheap wifi card bus. this is getting on my tits now!

in the bios it might not be a wireless setting either it might be in there as a disabled expansion bay or something
