    Is anyone else experiencing this?

    I downloaded and installed the latest driver from Intel for the 3945 a/b/g and I switched over to using the Intel pro/wireless for wireless rather than the standard windows one.

    This fricken this is pissing me off cos my other laptop works perfectly fine.

    I rang Sony support and told them about this. I even told them the internet works fine on my other laptop. They said call Telstra and then I'm like why the fxxk do I have to call Telstra? That guy probably assume I'm a Telstra customer.

    I then told him that my laptop wouldn't shut down. He said bring it back to where you bought it from and let them have a look. If it is faulty they will replace it.

    I asked if this is a known issue and he said no. I wanted to say you guys wouldn't know anything anyways, but I didn't say it. I just hung up on the guy cos he was so hopeless.

    PLEASE HELP ME !!!!

    Oh... I haven't actually tried plugging in a cable. Should I try that? If I plug the cable in and it's still like this then I'm going to return it.
