    someone else had the same problem, it turned out that the wires were connected the wrong way round to the internal w/less lan card

    if you dont want to void warranty I suggest you return it for repair.

    Good Luck

    Thank you for your help, but i still think its strange, it works fine untill it sudden deactivates, and windows reports the unit is working as it should.. is it possible to exchange the card yourself? i would like to avoid repair because it takes about 3 weeks..
