    I just got my new Dell Studio 15 with the Intel WiFi Link 5100 802.11 A G N Half Mini Card and when I move the wireless switch to turn it on it doesn't turn on.

    Any ideas guys? I've updated the driver and that didn't do anything. I've done everything I can think of.

    my s15 does the same thing. You just have to move the switch real hard. If I turn the switch off sometimes it won't come back for a long time. I will deffinately send this in for warranty before a year is up...
