The fix didn't work for me. I'm running Windows XP Media Center Edition on an HP Pavilion dv9005us Entertainment Notebook PC. The "network cable unplugged" message comes up when I need to use wi-fi. It seems that it can't even find the wi-fi hardware and it's behaving as if it needs me to plug in a LAN cable to the router. And that's what I'm having to resort to because it just can't seem to locate the wi-fi hardware in the laptop and make it fire up. Any suggestions?
