So I've been contracted to do a wireless network for a local pub. I have configured wireless networks before, in fact while at a company I worked for a few years back, i set up a number of access points some being about 6km apart. (ego) anyway, after spending an hour or so at this pub wondering why my laptop would not see the wireless router, I got on Google and spent another hour looking for answers. So totally baffled as to what it was, updating drivers, adjusting settings I see on some forum that there is, on some laptop keyboards a button to turn on the wireless! Nice one. Very embarrassing. Luckily I'd taken the router home and had spare time to figure this one out without distraction, no one was around to see my face when i found and pressed this button.
Moral to the story: RTFM :P
Update:
Mum had the same problem, there was a switch under the laptop to enable this wireless.
