    Hi,

    I have an Inspiron 1420 and every few hours the Wireless turns off, and it doesn't come back. What I have to do is to reboot the computer and everything is fine again for a few hours.

    anyone else with this problem?

    I have the 1420 also, sometimes when mine goes into
    sleep mode I lose wireless connection. I have to reboot.

    Update your drivers? What Card are you using?

    If you are running linux, modprobe the module back into the kernel - that should fix it.
