But if you uninstall the Intel PROSet/Wireless software, doesn't that disable your wireless adapter altogether? (Which is normally NOT a good thing?)
See
this page from Intel:
"Caution!
Uninstalling Intel® PROSet/Wireless Software also removes the Intel® WiFi adapter driver. You will not be able to use the wireless adapter on your computer. We only recommend uninstalling the driver as a final troubleshooting option. You shouldn't uninstall unless directed by an Intel technical support agent."
