My W7 install has been flawless until this week, i've started to notice a few odd things.

Wireless: This just started today, but when i try to connect to a wireless network, It will either tell me that it only has local access, or it will give me a nondescript error about not being able to connect. The troubleshooter doesn't resolve it. This issue has lasted through reboots and i'm currently without wireless. Adapter is a vanilla Intel PRO ABG part. (laptop)

shutdown/hibernate: Rarely works. Usually the machine won't shut down on it's own. If i go into hibernate, i often have no hdd access on resume. Standby, actually, works better than it did in XP.

Power settings: There may be a way to fix this, but the thing refuses to switch power profiles when going from battery->charging and vice-versa. Whatever i set it as, it stays there.

yes, it's a beta, i know, blah blah blah. the wireless issue has me stumped though.

Had a simular problem on a LP and solved it by uninstalling the driver and reinstalling it thru the device manager.
