It sounds like your adapter is broken. Try it in a different laptop to
be sure. If it doesn't work there, you know it is time to replace it.
These cards are delicate and don't last forever, especially if they get
knocked about a bit.

Check the eventlog for messages from the driver.
Anything relevant there?
