    Have you checked if the Panasonic wifi switch is installed? Have you tried the hardware switch (the CF-52 has one)? Good luck!

    I am no expert but when I loaded XP on my CF-74, the wireless switch didn't work. There appears to be a driver for it on the Panasonic site. Once I installed that, the switch worked.
    Might be worth checking.
