I recently downgraded from Vista to XP on my Vaio VGN-NR110E.

All is going well, except I can't seem to find drivers for the built-in wireless. Any help would be greatly appriciated.

HARDWARE ID : PCI\VEN_168C&DEV_001C&SUBSYS_E000105B&REV_01

Matching Device ID : pci\ven_168c&dev_001c

Hey there, that book uses an Atheros 54G 802.11b/g WLAN

Try this ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp27501-28000/sp27952.exe

If that doesnt work try looking for the Atheros AR5006EG Wifi driver on google.

Thanks for the quick responce, unfortunately, neither of those worked. I'm fairly sure whatever driver/device the switch is part of, isn't functioning, and that's causing the wireless card not to get power. (note: the switch I'm referring to is a wireless lan switch on the front (user-side) of the laptop. Without that being powered, I'm unsure as to whether or not the card is recieving power.)

Is there an option in BIOS to turn on the WIFI?
