Since that i can connect with my access point, i try to soft-reset, turn off and turn on the wireless, but when i try to scan access point, nothing ocurrs.

as i said, this the second time.

somebody knows? it's a recognized bug from hp/compaq?

thank
I'm not sure I understand your problem. But the idea with the profiles, is by switching them you change the way the wireless works. So you should always create a new profile and not change the default profile. The default profile is design to pick up any Access Point that wants to be found. If you change it, then you are telling your 5450 to only look at Access Points that have this chartist. You can think of the profile as a filter, that filters out Access Points that you do not whish to connect to.

So by changing the default profile, I am not supprise that you are seeing less or no access points. If this is the problem we would not call it a crash, a crash would be if your 5455 stop working all together. If by pushing the on/off button it would no longer turn off.
