To get to the terminal:
My Documents >> File >> Terminal

At the prompt:

rm -rf ~/.gconf/system/networking

rm = remove
-rf = recursive, force
~/.gconf/system/networking = networking directory

The missing files will be recreated and you should be good to go.

rm: cannot remove '/home/user//.gsynaptics/syn.convf' : permission denied.

Just a thought, Is the WiFi light on? If not then there is a little slide switch on the right side at the front.
