    Hey guys,

    I'm having a problem and it is my fault. I got my Vostro 1500 and decided that I would clear off all the dell stuff manually. I remember clearing out some dell netowrk assistant or something. Anyways, now my wifi catcher switch is not working. I cannot turn it on or off (it is permanently off), and pulling it yields nothing.

    I am running XP and when I go to wireless networks it says "wireless adapter radio off."

    Any ideas on how to fix this. I'm sure it is easily remedied, just not too sure how.
