    Unhappy suddenly I've lost wireless connection

    hi
    please can someone help me. yesterday i experienced a couple of problems and now i have lost me wireless connection to my router.

    to begin with, while the computer was on but not being used it suddenly went to a blue screen then shut down. It would then hang in a start up screen and do nothing. After a while it started to boot fine. Then later in the evening the computer lost internet connection and was unable to locate my router. I removed my router from the connection list hoping to be able to re-install a new connection but now my wireless does not work. I can only get connection through ethernet connection.

    my computer is an acer aspire one series running linux linpus with fedora 8. My router is a speedtouch 585.

    please any help on this would be fab

    first things first

    post the terminal output of ifconif

    also:

    do you see your wireless network but just can't connect? or do you show no wireless anywhere?

    What kind of wireless card? Are you using linux native drivers or ndiswrapper?
    Bodhi 1.3 & Bodhi 1.4 using E17
    Dell Studio 17, Intel Graphics card, 4 gigs of RAM, E17
