Atheros AR5005G Wireless Card not not detecting wireless network

[nimmi_srivastav]

I have a very peculiar situation. The inbuilt Atheros AR5005G
Wireless Card that came with my Toshiba Satellite A105-S2081 laptop is
not detecting my wireless network. However, when I plug in the ZD1201
IEEE 802.11b USB Adapter, that is detecting my wireless network. Does
anyone have any idea why this is happening? How can I get the Atheros
AR5005G Wireless Card to detect this network?

My OS is Microsoft Windows XP, Home edition, Version 2002, Service
Pack 2. I would like to mention that my home wireless network is
unsecured. Also, for the built in wireless network card the icon in
Network Connections shows "Not connected, Firewalled"

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Nimmi
