I have an IBM 9229 with a fresh install of Win7 and an alfa 036nh adapter. This is the third adapter I have tried with the same results. I have tried a dozen driver and several utilities all with the same result. The driver appears to be working perfectly in device manager. In network and sharing is shows disabled. I click enable and a window pops up that says it is enable. It then says enabled but it continues to show disabled in network and sharing.

I have reinstalled the software in and out of safe mode, etc. MS troubleshooter says it is a problem with the driver. Does anyone have an idea what to do next? Wlan is set to automatic
