    well the problem is in the title :).
    till couple of days ago, this computer could connect to a router, wirelessly.
    suddenly it does not have any remains of a wireless NIC in it.
    as i said in the title, it isn't in the device manager(i have a wired NIC there), and even not in the "my network places" (i have there a local area connection).
    even near the watch in the system tray, i don't see something that look like wireless connection.

    can any one suggest what happend to this computer?
    where my wireless NIC went away?
    thanks in advance:)

    p.s.
    it's a laptop compuer :)
