Now I'm starting to cross into the frustrated category. As searching has revealed, ASUS seems to have no idea what they're doing. Their site only has drivers for Azurewave, which many of their netbooks obviously do have, but some seem to have Ralink as I THINK mine has. Even people with the same model 1015-PEM separately report having one of these two different cards, regardless of the fact that the drivers page only has the AW drivers available. The only reason I believe it's Ralink is due to earlier posts when my network key was only accepted once Windows Update installed the optional "Ralink WLAN 802.11n" update.
So as I mentioned earlier the wireless card had disappeared from Device Manager, leaving me unable to even use the link you provided to identify the hardware. Since, I have done a complete clean re-install, again, simply to get the card back up so I can identify AT LEAST what card I have. Surprise! it wasn't there at all. I re-installed Windows the EXACT same way as before, except now I still have no visible card at all. Control Panel\Network and Internet\Network Connections shows only the LAN.
I checked BIOS to make sure it's enabled. I've installed a few different rouge Ralink drivers I found on the web with searches varying around "asus ralink wlan 802.11n driver," "asus ralink wireless driver," etc..
What's really pushing me to frustrated is that I did the same clean re-install as before, with this time giving me zero visible wireless adapter. What steps would you personally take if someone handed you an ASUS 1015-PEM and said, "tell me what model wireless adapter this has?"
