I've got five Vista Ultimates here at home, all wireless and all without problems - and that's been the case since beta 1.

Could it be that the laptop is failing to get a TCP/IP - is a firewall preventing DHCP requests, this happened to me with XP. Is there an updated driver for the wireless card in the laptop... or bios... Don't assume Windows update will find all the updates.

Have you tried removing the wireless card from device manager and setting up from scratch... here end'eth my 2 pence worth :-)
