The wireless card is not showing up after Vista`s auto update. I tried restoring to previouis states, updated drivers, reupdated vista. Nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?

What make? I read that HP has a known issue and requires mobo replacement. Mostly occurring with DV6000 notebooks and Broadcom cards though other combinations have been reported.

Hi Don't know if this is a little late to help, I have a Toshiba laptop and had the same problem as you when I updated (automatically ) unfortuanately at the end of Dec.
When i tried to connect to a wireless network there was no wireless on my laptop despite the switch being on.
I restored the laptop to a previous point ( Which removed all the updates from Dec) and it worked again.
Don't know which update is responsible but hope it helps.
