    Running an old HQ laptop with Windows XP. Has a Broadcom wifi adapter.

    Yesterday all was fine, I could see 7-8 different wireless networks and connected just fine.
    This morning, no networks to be seen. Nada.

    Connects fine through LAN.
    Other computer works fine on Wifi.
    Uninstalled-reinstalled driver.
    No conflicts in Devices.
    Blue little light to show that Wireless is on works, can turn off and on.
    Wireless Zero is on automatic (Services).

    :confused

    I'm wondering if the wireless adapter could be defective, is it an easy swap with one from a different laptop?
