(If your card doesn't support it, just ignore further)Open up the Intel ® PROSet/Wireless toolsClick the button: 'Diagnose'Now run tests and see what error comes up.If the Hardware Test is Flagged failed, I doubt a hardware failure.NOTE:After any installation / uninstallation please follow a cold boot.Do you have a hardware switch on laptop side panel?
