I was recently setting up a wireless connection on a laptop after blatting it and reinstalling the OS. I was asked to install the Intel Wireless Utility to use that for managing the wireless connections, if I had it my way I would of just used the Windows configuration utility, far simpler and uses less resources.
So after installing the Intel software, I tried connecting the laptop to the designated wireless network. However rather than being asked for a network key, it asked me for a 'Device Ownership Password'. It seems Intel are trying to make things more secure for you and your network but if you ask me this is just a major annoyance. To get round this you need to go into Control Panel, then Add/Remove Programs (Programs & Features in Windows Vista). Find the 'Intel PROSet Wireless' software and click 'Change' and then when the window opens, 'Modify'. Remove 'Intel WiFi Protected Setup' from the list of installed components and click 'Next'.
After this the problem should have gone away, might be worth restarting the computer to ensure the changes have come into effect.
