I have a new HP Pavilion 6200CTO PC w/ Broadcom 803.11 wireless card and
Bluetooth that is not recognized by Vista. All updated drivers are loaded and
even had HP replace motherboard and wireless card with no positive results.
PC keeps saying No wireless hardware is installed even though it is in
machine. Has anyone else had this problem and what is fix?

Thanks for any help,
Terry

Some HP notebooks have a manual wireless switch on the front margin of
the notebook. ??

Q

Yes notebook has manual switch on front and it is on. However, device manager
does not show WLAN driver in network adapter listing. Only Bluetooth and
ethernet controller are listed in manager. HP service says something on
motherboard is not connecting with WLAN card but both have been replaced.
WLAN still not working. wired LAN works fine.
