and my network adapter shown in device manager is Atheros AR9281 wireless network adapter

i've also tried disabling 'jump start wireless filter driver' which is recommended by this one site i found but it didnt work either...

Hmm... That's not the one. Sometimes, there's an option like Operating Mode - 802.11b only, 802.11g only, 802.11b/g, etc.

Have you tried changing to an Atheros driver, instead of the one provided by Toshiba?

well, the one provided by toshiba IS atheros

anyway, i tried updating the driver and the problem got worse as in the lack of network detection happened more often than before.

so i unistalled the driver and i'm back to using the one provided by toshiba.

right now, my settings:
1 back to old driver
2 ipv6 and jumps start filter driver are both disabled
3 the 802.11b is set as both long and short

any more ideas?

Oh, of course, Toshiba would provide you with an Atheros driver. But OEMs are usually much slower at driver updates than the principal manufacturer. Atheros should have a newer driver than the one provided by Toshiba.

LOL!! I think it was the reinstallation of the driver.
