The Acer Guy » Wireless problems with the Aspire One

All of a sudden, this afternoon, my wifi card disappeared 😦 I was happily surfing.. well not really, I was laying on my side on the floor downloading visual studio express and trying to install it on brownie when all of a sudden, the connection dropped. I tried the repair tool but now it couldn’t find my wireless card. I thought it was a Windows 7 issue but I remember having the same problem while I was in Vietnam when it was still on XP. Somehow it came back to life again after several restarts and uninstalls and reinstalls of the network card. Apparently, I’m not the only one who has had this problem as evidenced by this forum thread here: (The Acer Guy » Wireless problems with the Aspire One)

I’m trying out the solution of disabling the power saving mode of the wireless adapter. I’ll see if it happens again. If it does, I guess I’ll have to bear with shutting down, letting the device cool and restarting again :S.

It’s okay brownie, you still look sexy and you’re still working most of the time so i still love you… 🙂
