I picked up a used laptop and the built in wireless is a RealTek8185. It does not show 802.11g capability when you look under the advanced tab.
Any ideas on how to resolve this?

I have gone to gateways support line and downloaded the drivers but to no avail.

Under the advanvced tab I see

Channel Plan DOMAIN_FROM_EEPRO
Receive Buffers
Transmit Buffers

Peterm,

I have two machine running vista. One can connect wirelessly the other no good.
The only difference I can see is that the real tek card does not list 802.11g under the advanced properties tab.
While the good machine does. Yet I can't find a way to add the 802.11g capability to the one that is lacking it.
I did a system manager restore to factory default and still no good.

did you try the download from my link.
What error message do you get when you try to connect.
Cheers

There is really no error message it just says no wireless connections can be found.
I believe he had another card installed and may have deactivated the wireless zero configuration, but that should have cleared when I set it to factory default.

did you try my download.
In device manager do you see any errors against the network card
