    I just changed the 2200 bg card in my dell I6000 to the 2915abg (cause they use a a network at my local libary).

    Everything worked fine, but suddenly (I wasn't doing anything at all), the computer reboots and then It can't find the card anymore. I try rebooting again, still no card.

    After another reboot it works perfectly again.
    What could be wrong?

    Try Updating Your 2915 Cards Drivers From the Intel Site.
    Enable the wireless internet connection
    Enable the Card
    Disable All Firewalls?
    What are you connecting to on the library? A,B, or G
    What security is the library using?

    I use the newest intel drivers, when computer suddenly reboots and the card is gone, I can't find it in the hardware manager. (So maybe It's a hardware problem).
    I'm currently using a b network, the libary uses a with no security.

    Try Uninstalling everything with the wireless card and reinstall everything again then...
