I reformatted my tosh. satellite, what happened to my wireless? why am i not able to find my adaptor in device manager?

Sorry I am a mac specialist.

-- check the device manager of your computer
-- for win xp - go to right click on my computer - manage - computer management - device manager - on the right hand side that the netgear adapter is listed under network adapters or other devices

-- check the status that its working properly
-- then upgrade the latest drivers ...
-- follow the link ::

and try to connect ..

Sounds like a corrupt bios to me. Download the latest for your particular laptop from the Tosh site and create a bootable usb with the relevant flash file. Restart and then try to access the bios again from F2

This model does have wireless. I had a similar problem a little while ago, I plugged the unit in to a wired connection, and on it's own, disabled the wireless adapter.
Go to start--> control panel--system-->hardware-->device manager

look under the "network adapters", there should be a wireless adapter or 802g something something, right click on this item and click "enable".

You should then be able to browse for wireless networks now.

Check if the wireless switch on the Computer is turned ON. Based on the Operating system, make sure that wireless is enabled in the supplied application, for instance, if you're using Windows Vista Operating System then make sure that wireless is enabled in Windows Mobility center.
Check in the Device manager whether the wireless adaptor has any exclamation mark. You can reach to the device manager by typing devmgmt.msc in the run dialog box and clicking OK.
Under the Device manger, click the plus sign beside the "network adaptor" and chekc if the wireless driver is listed and doesn't have any exclamation mark. If wireless driver is listed but has an exclamation mark then right click on it and uninstall. When prompted to delete then select yes and restart the Computer.
next visit the support site of the manufacturer to download the wireless driver compatible to the installed Operating system. Furthermore, you can run network diagnosis by opening Internet Explorer and click on the 'repair network".

Check your device manager. Are all the drivers properly loaded?

sounds like you need to install the chip set drivers, then the wireless network drivers, if atheros card install before you install other drives, but chip set drivers first

Go to the device manager and check under network adapter,,If u find any listing over thre then u jave a wireless card inside ur system and u just need to install the drivers for the wireless card that comes with a cd provided by ur manufacturer.after tats installed reboot ur computer and then u might find the wireless network of your router.

Plz giv a good rating,and best of luck and post me again if it is unresolved

if it has a built in wireless adapter make sure 1st of all that the switch is turned on(I have a Tosh Sat too, mine is in the front on the left side) Once done, see if the wireless icon appears in the system tray. I fit doesnt appear cheeck in ctrl panel under network connections to see if it appears there and is not disabled. if not present check in device manager to see if the system sees it, making sure there are no bangs(exclamation points or red x's) on it, if it isn' t there..maybe it dowsn't have built in wireless.

Goto - Control Panel - System - Device Manager - Network Adaptors. It will list any network device installed. If its listed then Right click the wireless device then click properties.This will then tell you if it is working properly and if the driver needs updating. Also it will tell you if the device has been disabled or not,if so just enable it
