Hi All,
I'm a linux user 99.9% of the time but for netflix streaming until July I am stuck using MS...recently for not apparent reason I restarted my computer and randomly decided to check to see how many networks my wireless was seeing (I was connected to my own network), I was surprised when it saw NONE including the one I was connected to.
So I decided to reinstall the wireless driver just for kicks...there was no real reason as it was auto connecting to the three networks I use but I never like leaving things unsolved. After reinstalling the driver it told me it would delete the profiles which I already had set up, I said okay assuming I would see the networks and be able to reconnect to them after installing the driver. To my dismay, I still see no wireless networks and now it's not connecting to the wireless networks which I previously set up.
A couple notes:
1. If I scroll over the icon on the bottom right it actually says "Wireless networks in range" but when I go to "connect to wireless network" it's not finding any.
2. Linux sees networks no problem so it's not a hardware issue
3. For anyone who doesn't use Linux I just have to point out that there is NO CHANCE that Linux could have caused this problem. It's on a completely different partition, there is no sharing for the Operating System files of ANY KIND. Once in awhile in forums people tend to blame what they don't know, so I just had to be up front about that.
Any ideas? I can't stream netflix and I'm bummed....
