hi guys, i'm pretty new around here but i really need your help.
I have a fujitsu AMILO A series laptop with a built in Athros AR5005G wireless card.

A few days a ago ive installed Windows Vista Beta 2, before that i had Windows XP Pro that worked just fine with my wireless card.
With Win XP in order to turn on my wireless card i had to press on a hot-key that i have on my keyboard but now in Win Vista that key does not function at all.
Besides the specific hot-key the maual of my laptop says that i can press the FN+F10 buttons in order to turn the wireless module on, but as you can guess its not working too.

Ive tried t install Atheros Client Utility and to use the Enable Radio option that the software has but when ive opened the program the Enable Radio button was gray and i cant press it.

Now i really dont know what to do any more, please please help me guys !!!!

Thank you very much.

Not sure about Beta 2, but your card should be supported by Vista. However check in Device manager.
Sounds to me that you did a clean install? You'll need to reinstal the Laptops hotkey utill from the Amilo web site.
