A great question, and someone may post the exact answer, meanwhile I would look in Device manager, and do a properties on the wlan card and see if there is a setting in there. If there was software that installed with that driver, look at that.

Tanks for getting back   I tried a Exterinal card, The samething happens, until last week I never had an interinal card, I used aExterinal PCI Card, and Everything worked, However this morning I noticed that the amber light on the network connection on the back of the computer is on even when the cable is not connected, I dont think this is right.
