    Hi there. I recently formatted my HP Mini 5101 with a retail version of Windows 7 Ultimate. Unfortunatly I have not been able to enable wifi on the machine. I have tried all the drivers at HP but still nothing.

    The switch on the front of the netbook seems to enable/disable bluetooth but not wifi. That switch stays orange all the time and it used to be blue when wifi was enabled before I formatted.

    here is where I am getting my drivers from. here is where I am getting my drivers from.
