Dell laptop wireless zero shuts down

Hi,
My school just ordered 8 Dell Latitude e5400 laptops. I was able to get
them onto the wireless network just fine, but when I get off, the Wireless
Zero Configuration turns off so the I can not reconnect. I have to restart
first and then go back and put a check next to "let windows configure your
wireless network" (or whatever it says) before I can get back on. Anyone
have any ideas? Thanks!

There should be a setting in the *DELL* wireless utility to let
Windows manage the settings.

There is, but the next time I try to connect, the check is gone and I have
to keep setting it up all over again.
Any ideas? Thanks!

Yep, it does that.
Contact Dell support, or simply uninstall the Dell wireless management
software in Add/Remove Programs.

Hi
In some cases uninstalling the vendor's Wireless utility uninstalls the
Drivers too.
So first try to neutralize the Utility by getting it out of the StartUp.
