Iconia w4 wireless network adapter not working

As of this morning, my wireless adapter is no longer working (worked fine yesterday). When I opened the device manager, it reads "The device cannot start" and "The requested operation failed." There hasn't been a recent driver update, the last one being on May 19th.

 

Any help would be appreciated - and thank you!

    Just for anyone else who has this problem, I fixed it by going into the device manager, disabling the adapter, then enabling it. Bing! Works fine now.

    My solution is a little more complex:

    1) In device manager, uninstall the driver DO NOT check the box to delete.

    2) Reboot

    If it works again fine. If not then try the disable/enable trick.

    If that does not work, post the error code the driver is giving.
