Hi all,
I have an HP EliteBook 8460p (Win7 x64) with an Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6205 wireless card. I just moved in to my university dorm and upon attempting to connect to their wifi, the card randomly shut off. Normally I would just press the integrated "turn on/off radio" button that toggles the wifi and the blutooth chip, but the button isn't turning the wifi card on and off. I've tried what I think is everything; disabling and re-enabling the driver in Device Manager, uninstalling and re-installing the driver, rebooting, restoring my computer to the last restore point (a few days ago), and uninstalling and re-installing the Intel PROset wifi program set. I'm out of options!
The card refuses to turn on no matter what I try. Looking in the Windows Mobility center gives me this:
In the "Intel My Wifi Technology," it says "please enable technology" but when I right click on the options in the toolbar, all the options are greyed out and unclickable.
Intel diagnostics gives me this:
Ethernet connections works fine, so this is what my Adapter Settings page looks like on ethernet:
I don't know what else to do!! I apologize if I missed a thread of similar subject, but I feel like I've looked everywhere for an answer. Is there any way it has something to do with Symantec Endpoint Protection conflicting with University wifi? I have yet to talk to tech services but if I can avoid that I'd like to.
Thank you!
