Did my wireless card just crap out?Okay, seemingly randomly, my computer no longer sees any wireless networks
whatsoever. (which stinks, since I don't even have a landline) ditto if I turn off the firewall. The only thing that happened last night was a java update, but I can't imagine how that would have changed things. At least my corner cafe has ethernet ports. This has happened before but never for more than an hour, and I always figured it was some sort of interference... but it's been 24 hours now. I'm guessing my wireless card has crapped out? XP Pro SP2 Pro/Wireless LAN 2100 3A Mini PCI adapter if you think it was the java update, uninstall it /use system
restore to a point before the update. What happens? Does the device show in device manager? did it get turned off? disabled? posting the text output of ipconfig /all might be helpful.

Have tried restore yet, but will do so. (I doubt it could be java) Hmm - when I try ipconfig, the window pops up for less than a second and then disappears.

again and include an ipconfig /all when the machine is in the bad state.
