    I run a Sony Vaio laptop with built in wireless. I have an Orange Livebox set up for my broadband connection. Problem is when I go into Network Connections there is no section for Searching for or Connecting to an available Wireless Network.
    With a gap of a few months when I used a hard conneciton, I used to run wireless through a Belkin router and the option to connect to a Wireless Network was available then but it appears to have dissapeared.
    Is it possible that I have some how disable the built in wireless card? And if so, is there a way to re-enable it?
    Thanks for your help.
