    I've just clean installed Vista32 on my 6831fx and for the life of me I cannot get my wireless to work. Download the correct drivers from Gateway, wireless switch at on position, and reboot both Linksys WRTG54 and laptop numerous times. Wired connection is fine (using it now), but when I try to connect via wireless I'm told that I have to turn the switch on??? Any help would be greatly appreciated as always.

    Sorry, found the simple fix. Even when you have the wireless switched on, you may need to press FN and F2 to enable the antenna.
