Hello,
i have a dell inspiron 1525 laptop with a dell 1505 802.11n draft network card. almost every time i boot up i get the message that the wireless card has stopped working. sometimes it still connects but most of the time it won't. it will do this intermittently. it will work for a week or so and then have a period of 4-5 days where it will screw up. i have downloaded all available updates for the driver and it hasn't helped a bit. the laptop is about a year and a ahlf old. i have tried a netgear usb network adapter and it connects everytime but i cant go 15 feet away from the router without losing signal. the 1505 adapter works great when it works. is there any known solution to this problem or should i just get a new network adapter. if so what kind of adapter would you recommed. thanks a lot. i'm also running windows vista if that helps out

Configuration: Windows Vista Internet Explorer 8.0
