[SOLUTION] HP compaq nc6000 wireless not working

I’ve been struggling with this laptop for weeks and finally found a solution.  The nc6000 laptop was donated to the organization that I work for and the user wanted wireless internet.  (Check the bay in the bottom of the laptop to see if a card is there first!)  I bought a card on eBay that was supposed to work for the nc6000 (an intel B2200BG), and the drivers loaded, the Windows wireless icon showed up, but the blue light on the computer wasn’t on and no networks ever showed up, even if I pushed the wireless button. I thought there was a card issue.  (After reading today, only certain mini-PCI cards will work with this model, maybe even just cards with an HP sticker.)  I bought an HP WLAN W500 card, installed it, but had the same exact issue. I installed the Atheros Client Utility thinking that might be required, but it said “wireless network interface disabled.” I dug around the BIOS more (hit F10 immediately after hitting the power button to turn it on) and found that under Security tab, Device Security, there is a choice for Wireless network button and it is set to Disable!  I enabled it, saved the changes and IT WORKS!  Now the wireless button makes the blue light turn on and the wireless works! This is an original solution, please credit this page if sharing.Косметический ремонт съемной квартиры
