disappeared from the system without first being prepared for removal."

A reboot restores it- but only for a minute or so. It seems like if
I shut things down for a long time it stays connected longer-- but it
is unpredictable.

I am suspecting a hardware problem--- but wonder if a memory or IRQ
problem is possible.

The WLAN device is currently using IRQ 22 & device manager shows no
conflicts but IRQ 22 is also used by
"Standard OpenHCD USB Host Controller" Disabling this device makes no
difference.

If it is a hardware problem, then it is on warranty-- but I'd like to
prove that before I start with HP support.

Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Jim
