OK, so I upgraded to Win 7 and then started noticing that my NIC card goes out .. it will not read any wireless networks until i restart my computer. I was on the phone with Dell for 2hrs updating my drivers.. it still happens. I've noticed it more when I play World of Warcraft then anyother time I can be on it for 20 to 30 min and then it just goes out. I want to verify that its not my NIC or a virus before I determine that its a prob with WOW.
