nspimt here again,

After messing with this WLAN issue on my free HP dv2410us and reading many sites, the easiest way to connect to any net is simply use USB Wireless device. The Laptop should not have any problem identifying it and it works well. I suggest using the extension cord that comes with most USB adapters. You can move it around to get better signal strength. I also find that by disabling the WLAN, restart, then shut down for about 5 or 10 miuntes, then start and PRAY it loads the Broadband/WLAN Driver. If it loads and works, enjoy and leave it running more than shutting it down. If you hve OCD like I do, lol, it will bother you that it doesn't work but just plug the USB-G in and you will be okay.

My brother spent some bucks on this Laptop from HP and right after the Warranty was done the Motherboard went bad. HP has identified this problem but really does not do a good job of standing behind the product. With todays economic condition, I'd think $ about that. Money talks and Bulls*** walks.

I was ahving the same problem with my HP Pavilion ze2000 and it solved the probelm. !! Thanks A LOT
