wifi vanished today
It was working this morning. I have an ASUS HE1000 EEE netbook. It runs
testing. Early this morning at home the wifi worked fine.
Later thsi mornign I was at a location where there was no usable wifi
signeal, and rather than ahve it wasting battery looking for a
connection, I right-clicked on the icon with two terminals and a red box
with an white X, got a menu, and unchecked the option that enabled
wireless.
Later, back at home, I tried enabling wireless again. TO my sutprise,
the option had disappeared from the menu. I seem to have no obvious way
to turn wifi on. The menu which used to have an option that enabled wifi
now just has
* Enable Networking (checked)
* Enable Notifications (checked)
(greyed out) Connection Information
* Edit Connections
* About
No option for wifi.
What can I do to turn wifi on again?
I did *not* do an upgrade to my system between this morning and now.
The collection of availkable drivers shoulkd be identical between now and
then, unless the system did something behind my back.
All I did that seems relevant was uncheck a menu item that normally just
temporarily turns off wifi. It's as if this time it expunged wifi from
my system permanently.
