I tried connecting to a different wireless router (Belkin), but the
result was the same.

The wireless card driver was installed by Windows automatically. So I
guess it should be windows and not intel.

I checked the MAC at the properties window of te wireless card in
device manager. I uninstalled the device and added it again, so now it
shows a valid MAC, however my problem still persists.

Hope that give an idea of my problem.
