    If it will work connecting to a different wireless router then the wireless card in the laptop must be working.

    Have you tried deleting the wireless profile on the laptop and then reconnecting to the Vodafone router. Are you sure the wireless is turned on on the router, that she is using the correct security type and password and is trying to connect to her router not one of her neighbours.

    Changing the OS would have no effect.
