    As far as I can tell, I may have left my AAO on for a while and it overheated, frying my wifi. I tried uninstalling some recent software, but noticed that my CPU starts using a lot of mem if the wifi switch is on, but acts fine when it is off. When wifi is on, no networks are detected, and clicking 'repair' gives the message that the wireless could not be repaired due to (trying to remember here...) 'could not connect'. Reinstalling drivers did not fix the problem, but with the wifi drivers uninstalled, my system would no longer lag with the wifi switched to 'enable' (still not working of course).

    Anyways I think this means my wifi card is fried. Maybe yours too? Does anyone else know what's going on? I am probably going to get the dell card that is suggested here in forums...
