    I installeded a new copy of windows 7 on a Fjitsu Siemens laptop that was running windows vista basic. Everything is good except it does'nt pick up a wireless network. In device manager under Network adapters it says Micrsoft Virtual wifi mini adapter, with no yellow marks. Underneath that it says Qualcomm atheros Ar5007EG Wireless network adapter no maks afte it. Underneath that it says SIS Ethernet controler again no marks. I updated via windows, i also ran drive genuis and others sill no good. Went to Fujitsu Siemens site no good. Any ideas help would be appreciated.

    did you switch on the onboard wireless card as some laptops have an on\off switch on front or a key on keyboard to turn on/off the wireless card?

    Thanks for your reply. Yes the wireless switch is on. The wireless light is on also.
    Any other ideas?
