    Here is the problem, WLAN is shown in device manager as functional, it even can find networks in range and everything. But when I want to connect to a network it gets to a point when it asks me for the username and pass, and stops there. The error sometimes says that it can't identify the server or that i should just try to reconnect. I tried connecting to various networks, and I can't even make it tell me that my pass is wrong... It seems that it isn't able to communicate with the server. It passes Intel wlan tests until the 'association' test.
    Rainstalling the drivers and/or the windows didn't help, any ideas? should I send it for RMA?

    :D that is most probable
    it's not the driver, I'm sure of that, but it's hard for me to believe it is a HW error cause the card finds the networks, asks for credentials and then fails to connect to the server...

    It might be worth posting in the network section (or get a mod to move this topic), as you may get a better response from there if your having no success here.
