Wireless Network Connections not displaying

[infamousDee]

I have an Advent Roma 2000 running Windows 7, and the Wireless Network Connections group has disappeared in the list of available networks; only Dial-up and VPN is showing. I don't recall doing anything that might have caused this, such as uninstalling any drivers. Any help with this problem would be greatly appreciated. 👍

Did you do something as simple as turn the wireless card off? I'm not sure what it is in the UK but on my US spec Dell it's the Fn+F2 keys.

The wireless network adaptor is enabled. The problem here is that the group containing Wi-Fi connections doesn't show up in the list of networks, unlike the second image:

The adapter can be enabled and still have the radio turned off.

Fixed, by activating wireless capability through Windows Mobility Centre, since it turned out that the radio hotkey on the laptop was broken.
