    I can not get my wireless to work on my new R2 at all, the stupid DW WLAN utility keeps interfering. I just want Windows to manage the wireless without having that other utility there because it's causing issues with the specific router I'm connecting to. But when i uninstall it, the drivers are gone too.

    The adapter is "Wireless WLAN 1520 Half MiniCard" but EVERY driver I've found for it comes with that horrible Wireless utility. Where can i get just the stand-alone driver?

    Open up the start menu, under search type 'msconfig' and open it. under services, check to hide microsoft ones. uncheck any DW WLAN stuff. go into startup and do the same.
