    I'm having a problem with my wifi card on my M45-S351 (the wifi card is an Intel 2200BG). I've updated to the most recent driver I could find (9.0.4.39) but I cannot get this thing to connect to my wireless router (Apple Time Capsule). I do have WPA2 encryption on the router but the card supports that so I'm not sure what the problem could be. When I attempt to connect, it will not connect to the Time Capsule at all or it will connect and say "Limited or No Connectivity' - either way, I cannot get on to the internet. I have been able to connect to other "unprotected" wifi networks available to me but the connection is spotty at best and I don't want to use those networks for obvious reasons anyway.

    I did quite a bit of searching online and it seems like the 2200BG is very problematic. Anyone have an idea of how I can get this thing working properly? If not, is it worth it to try and replace the wifi card? Is it a difficult process? If it's not too expensive I would consider it, but I don't want to spend too much. I just replaced the LCD, so putting more money into this thing doesn't thrill me. I obviously prefer to try to get the current card working first if at all possible though. Thank you in advance!

    Just a quick update. I can get it to connect to my Time Capsule (connection is not stable) but I absolutely cannot get on the web. Any ideas?
