    There's a problem with my Wireless on my Vaio SR190. I was using it earlier today and the wifi went out and I couldn't reconnect. Now I notice that the green indicator light doesn't turn on when I toggle the switch to "on", but it doesn't notice that I turned the switch to on and the SmartWi window pops up on the desktop. When I try and search for a network it tells me that none can be found and I click troubleshoot it tells me I need to turn the WiFi on. In the SmartWi window it says WiFi is on so I can't figure it out. Any help?


    **Edit**

    I have since fixed my issue. I went to the sony website and updated the Wireless Driver (There was an update from 3/8/2009, or somewhere right around there) and restarted the computer. Had the same problem right away, but when I went to troubleshoot why it couldn't see any networks it told me the wireless was off and there was an option to turn it on (This was there before too) but this time I clicked it and it worked. Anyway, I'm up and running again, great!
