no wireless

I recently installed the Vista Beta, and after installing, Vista recognized my linksys wmp54gs wireless card as a broadcom wireless card, but the drivers seemed to work fine, and I was able to connect to my wireless network. After doing windows update, some additional drivers were installed, for my sound card, tv tuner, and modem, and afer the system restarted, there was no more wireless. I checked the device manager and it said the card was working fine, but when I went to the networking center, no wireless networks were being detected. I checked the back of my computer, and the light on the wireless card is off (normally on when functioning). I've tried installing the linksys drivers, but nothing happens. I also reinstalled Vista, and the same thing happened, wireless right after install, after updates, nothing. Any ideas on how to fix this?

Hi There.
Try removing the WEP encryption from your router; restart your router and system; try to reconnect to your network.
Let me know what you find.
Cheers,

have you tried rolling back the drivers for your sound card, TV tuner, and modem? "Sam Huff" wrote in message

Hi, I'm having a similar problem with my wireless. I run Belkin equipment although vista recognises the network card as broadcom it refuses to install the drivers for it. Having contacted Belkin they say they are working on updating the drivers to be vista compatable, so until that time I guess I'm gonna be stuck with a wired connection. Unless that is some one has any ideas that mey help me. Thanks in advance -- Ghost
