    Hi all.
    Recently I have bought s420 laptop. After some use, I discover one annoying thing - sometimes my wifi card disconnects from computer (the Led also changes color).
    It happens frequently - maybe twice or more times per day.
    I found that if the system is loaded more than average (I use graphic edition tool) this happens with greater probability, but sometimes it happens during regular browsing.

    Thank you , sincerely Evgeny

    What model is the wireless card?

    I found that upgrading my driver in Vista helped, of course i used the manufacturers driver and not MSI's. In my case it was Ralink Tech, MSI model 6877 wireless adapter.

    Try Astra32 if u have trouble finding out.

    Regards
