Restore didn't seem to help - except cause me to have to reinstall IE7

Got the wifi working again - uninstalled the card, then reinstalled the driver and it's connected, but this just doesn't seem right compared to how it was running yesterday...
Gonna reboot again in a bit and see how it fares...... If not, it's gonna have a new OS install (again) as I am sure this one didn't take too well.....
