    After trying all the recommendations (Norton, regedit, resets, etc.) updating the Atheros driver solved the problem - thanks NathanDoesIT!

    I'm in the driver atheros driver 5700 camp.  Thanks everso for posting that solution.  It has done the trick for me, after several days of using a cable, I am back on wireless. Good stuff.

    I uninstalled the Realtek RTL8187B WLAN card then ran a hardware scan... 'Local and Internet' now showing.  Job's a good 'un!
