My wireless conectivity is switching off when I connect my laptop to the mains.

It's an Acer with an Atheros adapter

I noticed someone else had aproblem with the same thing

Any ideas

Check the Acer support site for a possible update to the Atheros adapter driver. What OS are you running?

Wireless lost

Hi

I tried yesterday but the site was down. I'll try again today.

The operating system is XP Home

My wireless goes off !

Some more info that may be of use.

When connected to WiFi (no power cable)
Network Connections screen shows two icons. Local Area Connection (Disabled) and Wireless Network (Connected)

When connected to WiFi (with power cable in) ... lose WiFi + network list shows nothing
The Network Connection screen has three icons.Local Area Connection (Disabled), Wireless Network (Not Connected) and a 1394 Connection (Disabled)

Does this help

This is normal

Just a stab in the dark. Reset your power settings to default
