Hi,
I did clean install on my V2575US just now. When I perform "Window Update", I accidentally downloaded and installed the Broadcom driver from Windows Update Site.
Now my blue wireless indicator light doesn't work anymore (but the button works). If I press the button to disable the wireless, it disconnect. If I press it again to enable it, the blue light comes on but as soon as it detects the wireless network and try to connect, the blue light went off.

I try uninstall and reinstall with driver I download from HP site but it doesn't help. I remember reading some thread about this but can't find it.

Any suggestion is appreciated.

try this: Device Manager, Properties on the wireless device (broadcom), Advanced. There, look for power consumption and energy saving options. I can't remember the exact names right now because I'm at work where I have a different computer.

Thanks!
The option is "Minimum Power Consumption". It has to be "disabled".
All fine now.
