Wireless lan just disappeared in vista

Hopefully this will prevent it from happening again. Was this reply helpful? Yes No. Sorry this didn't help. Thanks for your feedback. This same thing happened to me. What causes it to happen is a very low battery but found a simple solution to turn back on the wireless network adapter. Hi - I've seen a number of similar questions but no solutions to my problem. This happened before and they replaced the computer, after trying a system restore and then full recovery.

Apparently, it's not the computer. The Wireless adapter is missing from device manager, much less the network and connections area. In troubleshoot, the computer simply says a network cable needs to be plugged in.

There is no wireless choice under network connections. There is no wireless adapter tab upon right click of Network Adapter in Device Manager. This did not work. Nothing works. Any help is appreciated. This thread is locked.
