    Hi

    I bought an ASUS Eee PC (1015PEM-SC17) from Staples last week.
    I formatted the hard drive and made a fresh install of Windows 7 32-bit, and I installed most of the drivers provided in their support website. Everything works fine except I notice that the wireless "turns off" once in a while.

    It doesn't actually "turn off". The device is still on, but it cannot find any wireless signal. I have to manually turn it off and back on for it to work again (by pressing Fn+F2 twice).

    It happens rarely (maybe once in 6 hours of continuous use) but it gets a little annoying. I re-installed the drivers a few days ago and I saw it happen again once (I forgot when).

    Does anyone else have the same problem?
