    My wireless has been working fine, and as of yesterday stopped working. It is not listed in the control panel network settings, nor is it listed in Device Manager. I have disabled the Nforce to see if that would help, but it didn't.
    The strange thing is that when I boot to safe mode, the wireless is working fine.
    I'm wondering if this is a BIOS setting, or something to do with one of the Alienware utilities. Any help would be greatly appreciated. BTW, running W7 64.
