Need WiFi help with Toshiba Satellite

Have a Toshiba Satellite 2435-S255. Installed a mini WiFi card from Broadcom that's 802.11b/g capable. This came out of another laptop of mine and I know it works and it's hardly been used.

I cannot connect to my WiFi router. I'm confident that I have the antenna corrections installed correctly. I have the switch set to on for WiFi on the side of the laptop. I've checked the Device Manager and the Broadcom Network Adapter is listed and shown as working properly. I do have MAC filtering setup on the router but I did get the MAC off of the mini WiFi and have triple check that it was entered correctly into the router. Using a DLink DI-784 which I've had no problems with my other laptop.

Any ideas? Installing this card in my girlfriends Toshiba so I can get her online.
 
Yes. I think I understand your question.

There is a switch on the side of the laptop to turn WiFi on and off. When it comes on the LED light is supposed to light up, but doesn't.
 
Everything appears fine. It is listed in device manager as working. I do find it odd that I have access to the Broadcom utility and the Windows XP WiFi utility also. I have to check enable every time but I get the response to turn the WiFi switch on. Which it already is.
 
The switch on the side is for a built in wi-fi adapter. Does this model have a built-in wi-fi adapter?
