    Hello,

    my Vista Business updated and installed Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - May 2008. After that I rebooted to Linux and found out that my wireless isn't working anymore.
    So I rebooted back to Windows and it doesn't work here too anymore.
    The connection is there in Network Connections.
    Connect to a network gives me black window with "Windows cannot find any networks."
    The wireless switch is turned on. I also reinstalled the wireless drivers.

    I have a Fujitsu-Siemens Lifebook S7110 with Atheros AR5006EG integrated wireless.

    Any ideas what's going on?

    Thanks

    After multiple restarts, it started working. Damn Vista, almost sent my laptop to service.
    Thanks to Ubuntu I found out that the wireless is working and that it was Vista's bug or something.
