Mostly when I have a lot of wireless traffic like FTP transfers, VPN activity this happens.

 

The wireless radio shuts off:

 

the light on the m2010 goes off

the adapter days "disabled"

the device manager shows "disabled"

i try to enable it, it freezes for about 5 minutes and then says failed.

 

I have uninstalled the drivers, reinstalled drivers. Tried old versions of the driver, and the latest.

 

I guess what I am saying is, should I call warranty support and get a new chip? Or is this a common issue.

 

It does not happen very often. Sometimes days go by, then suddenly it shuts off. Only a reboot will fix it.
