I've experienced #1, I finally gave up and told my router to broadcast the
SSID.

I've also experienced #3, usually twice or three times a day it just quits
detecting any networks, and loses connectivity to the original one I was
using. My only option is to reboot, because like you, any step I take to try
to resolve results in a hang.

I've not found any solution yet: I've tried updating my drivers to the
newest ones available, and installing all Windows Updates.

I have an Intel Wireless card as well. I'm not on my laptop now so I don't
know the model number.

System: Asus G1 Laptop
OS: Windows Vista Ultimate
