I have a laptop with a wireless card build in, and it has a switch in the front of it, with a colour either red, or blue, for the wireless being off or on respectively.

One day, it randomly went red no matter which direction the switch is in. On top of that, the wireless card is not shown in the hardware what so ever. I checked in the bios, and no setting there has to do with the card being on or off

Another weird thing is, in the device manager, it says my coprocessor has no drivers. I can't imagine this is true, or my computer wouldn't really be able to run

Is it possible my computer is mistaking my wireless card for a coprocessor, and if so, how can i fix it?

Its a Compaq presario v6000 and works with a wired connection

Can you try re-installing the driver for the wireless?
