Did the wireless ever work? (have you tried going into Device Manager and rolling back the driver?)
Was there something that you changed before this happened? ( perhaps updated the operating system)
Kind regards,

In the Device Manager look for the Network adapter section. Click on the triangle to the left to expand the section. there should be two devices there in yours if you also have a wired network adapter. I will edit this and post an image from my desktop PC.

No worries.
What is the installed operating system and is it 32 or 64-bit?
You may have to go into the BIOS and enable the wireless card. Once that is done your wireless card could very well start working on its own and be recognized by the operating system. The following image is from a pre-production BIOS for the ProBook 6550b.
Your notebook may have only the LAN network interface controller enabled.
