I would first recommend you to remove and reseat the wireless card of your notebook by following the steps provided in the manual given here: http://h10032.www1.hp.com/ctg/Manual/c01095493.pdf. NOTE: In the provided manual, please refer to page number 35 (43 of 122) to remove and reseat the wireless card of your notebook. Then, I recommend you to check for the issue. If the issue persists, then it is clear that the issue is with the malfunction of the wireless card of your notebook. If your netbook is under warranty then ask for a free repair @ hp department, if not then you may have to shell few bucks for repairing it.
