new Toshiba Satellite's wireless adapter won't turn on

[Zovistograt]

I enabled all that I can enable, disabled and reenabled, and diagnosed the problem. When it's saying it's "repairing" (i.e. trying to turn it on), it just stops and says it's still turned off.

Is this more confirmation that Vista sucks?

Check on your laptop somewhere for an actual slider switch that will turn your wireless on and off. My friend just bought a gateway and had the same problem until we actually found the slider switch on the front of the laptop. What model number is it?
