Unfortunately, I don't have a screen like yours that is showing for a wireless connection. The only thing I have showing up is my Wired connection.
I'd send you a picture of it, but can't figure out how to include the screen shot of the network connections.
I have a new Linksys N900 running WEP encryption. I have 12 other devices, including another Dell N4010 laptop connected to the network without any issues
I am in the same room as the router already.
I've running norton 360 for anti-virus
I've also booted the laptop in SAFE mode with networking to take the norton out of the equation and there is no difference in the how the laptop behaves from a connectivity point of view.
If I try to use the windows mobility panel, the wireless is not there and the only option available for the F2 key is bluetooth. the other options are grayed out.
