802.11g Network Adapter Radio Control Swi...
I'm trying to connect to the internet on my laptop. It's a Gateway 7415GX and it's supposed to have a 802.11g network adapter in it. I've done everything I can to set up a wireless network but I get the message "Te radio on your 802.11 network adapter is still disabled. Use the hardware radio control switch to enable it"
We have a 2Wire wireless modem through SBC. Our other laptop works just fine with it. If I plug the Gateway in with the cord, it has internet access. This is driving me insane!
I've looked all over and I can't find any switch anywhere on the computer! The only switch on the bottom releases the battery!

It's not a physical switch, and they really should put more thought into the error messages they write.
To "flip" the "switch" you hold down your function key and hit F2 (you'll notice a little symbol on the F2 button - that's the "radio switch"). After that, just right click on your wireless connection and choose repair.

Dylan,
You rock! Your additional detail on "right click on your wireless connection and choose repair" gave me a tip on right-clicking on the inverted V like icon in the lower-left corner of Windows and choosing Connect To then Wireless Network. Problem resolved. Woohoo!
Thanks a million!
