Hi,
I rebooted my computer yesterday, and after windows finished loading, I wasn't online. Normally the computer connects to my wireless network automatically, but now it can't find any wireless networks. When I right click the network icon and pres "Create a connection to a network" (I'm guessing. It's a translation from the danish menu. It's the top option ind the pop-up menu), there's nothing there. Usually there are ten different wireless networks to choose from. Getting windows to identify why this is, tells me that the Service for Wireless Networks (Again, translation from the Danish OS) isn't running. Clicking "Start the service" results in an error message saying that "Windows can't solve the problem".
I've tried going to computer - Manage - Services and programs - Services - WLAN Autoconfig. This service is set to start automatically, but is apparently not running. When I click start this service I get an error message saying "The Service WLAN AutoConfig on local computer could not start. Error 1068: The service or the group, that it's dependent on, did not start".
I've tried updating the drivers, removing and re-installing the wireless adapter to no avail.
I have a brand new (1 month old) Lenovo T500. I'm running Windows Vista Business, and my wireless is a Intel WiFi Link 5300 AGN.
Please help! Laptops are so imobbile without wireless LAN.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much!
I found out two things: First, I apparently suck at googling. Second, the Extensible Authentication Protocol was deactivated for some reason.
