Re: wireless connection stopped working

It is working now. I had to press the `wifi' button on my laptop. It had no
use on previous version, hence I never thought about pressing it earlier. I
guess hardy recognizes the `wifi' button. Very cool!

Now is there a way I can have the led on of the wifi button. That would be
really cool! On windows the led used to turn on when pressing the button to
turn on wifi.

Thanks

I were able to click on the network icon on top right corner and were able
to see a list of wireless channels. Now it only shows the wired network,
connect to 802.1x protected network and manual configuration

Any help would be appreciated
