Why reset your wifi adapter when you can just do a whole system restore and dick around for 30 minutes? (infosec.pub)

Even better, you're blowing away updates and will need more and more updates the further back in time your system restore point is...

This is so you don't bother IT with "Wi-Fi" issues, right?

This note gives me flashbacks to XP-era Wi-fi drivers. I had a Belkin 802.11g Wi-fi dongle because cables were a no-go. Thing would cause networking to stop working on a regular basis. Reboot fixed it temporarily.

Eventually upgraded to a Lenovo N200 running... Vista, (It was SP2 okay? It wasn't bad, but it also had upgraded RAM and CPU) and it had an Intel wireless controller, the issue never returned.

Also looks like IT had enough of people asking why their PC's wireless doesn't work.
