1238034 2011-10-18 03:31:00 Here's a weird update.

I chucked SIS Sandra on there to see if I could see the card through that software.

The card is visible (under network devices) in Sandra, but is not operational.

How the hell am I going to get this thing to make up?

1238035 2011-10-18 04:17:00 As suggested earlier, get a live linux boot disk and try that and see if the wireless works, that'll tell you if it's hardware or software related. CYaBro (73)
1238036 2011-10-18 05:01:00 I have booting up with an Ubuntu Live CD, and still no wireless capability in sight.

New card?
