I have an older Gateway labtop. I had to reinstall my Windows XP home edition, version 2002. I upgraded the service pack to SP3. It is not finding my wireless network card in the laptop. We had been connecting to our wireless internet service previously. I reinstalled the operating system because the computer had recently stopped connecting and it was saying that there was a firewall setting that was causing the problem. We couldn't find the setting, so I decided to reinstall the operating system. What can I do? Is it possible that the wireless network card has gone bad?
