hey! i need help trying to fix my wireless adapter card i suppose. I tried to reinstall drivers using the original ones provided by toshiba > http://www.csd.toshiba.com/cgi-bin/... but that did not help! i tried restarting the wireless network service and nothing. one thing I did was to boot into ubuntu live to see if wireless worked under linux and it did! so this has to do with windows vista os and and something that I am still not able to figure out. i also tried some commands with netsh and nothing it seems like wireless card is turned off and it doesn't detect anything :'( what can i do?

start by posting the results of an ipconfig /all when booted to vista. Are you using encryption for your wireless access?

yes! all i want is networks to be detected now. then i'll worry about connecting to them :/ the wireless card seems to be installed correctly but i don't understand why it doesn't detect anything :?

As wanderer said, post your ipconfig results. "So won’t you give this man his wings What a shame To have to beg you to see We’re not all the same What a shame" - Shinedown
