Even being two feet away does not help. The Wifi keeps disconnecting and I have to re-connect manually. Recently I have also noticed that my network cards are also being disabled somehow. This I can see under device management. I have to manually enable them! This does not happen all the time but has happened several times. Anyone?

Something relating to Power settings such as C.A.M ( Constantly Awake Mode) or if there is Seperate configuraion program besides (WZC) that may be causing a conflict.

I'd suggest to check the power management options for the wifi card under the non-admin profiles to see if the wifi is being turned off to save power.

In all cases wireless setup working, and then sometime later, few days, few weeks, few months wireless would all of sudden stop working. I have not found any reason, and in all but one case, I could never get wireless working without a complete reinstall (with the same wireless problem again cropping up sometime in the future).
