Hi,

I tried all these steps with no luck. 'Microsoft virtual adapter' is not visable at all under the device mamanger and the Wireless netweork adapted 'Broadcom' is constantly disabled and will not be enabled.

reinstalling driver will not solve the problem. only resetting the PC to how it came from manufacturer solved the problem in the past. however, if i disable the wireless adapter the problem happens again.

Please help.

Netbook is Acer Aspire one 521

Many thanks,
