So my wireless connection went down an hour or so ago. No big deal I thought, does it every other day or so so I tried to repair it and found no joy. Restarted and nothing doing either. Everytime I tried to repair I got this error message:
"The supplicant support has not been installed correctly. You need to run setup again to fix this problem. If instead you continue, 802.1x and WPA will be disabled."
Now I thought this was kinda weird, seeing as how it has been working fine for about a year and gives me this message now. So lugged my PC downstairs and redownload and installed the software but it just does exactly the same after numerous retries and reinstalls. It still sees mine and my neigbours router, just can't connect.
I've found nothing online so I'm turning to you, the wizards of H/A.
The adapter is a Netgear WN311B running on XP.

When you reboot it should install again automatically.
If this doesn't fix it try reinstalling the drivers.
Tried both of these, including using the automatic drive rupdate and manually downloading both the latest and previous drivers and trying them both, still not working.
Seated and reseated the card too but still no joy.
Tried to connect my Wii last night and it didn't work either. Well thats odd seeing as how it must be my network card. Or perhaps I could just turn my router off and on and everything would work fine.
Occam's razor folks.
i once spent an hour trying to diagnose my laptop wifi card only to realize i had kicked my router's power brick loose, unplugging my router
