    Can you activate / deactivate it with Fn-F2 (or similar) try switch it on/off (or with wifi switch on the edge of the casing)

    My wireless card can go in standby/hiberbation. Desktop software doesn't report that - seems if all is fine. No networks. When i switch it on, it shows WIFI networks again.
