    I've been using my Linux AA1 for a few weeks now at home using the wireless router, but suddenly a few days ago it stopped picking up the signal. My brother uses it already for another PC so the problem is not at the router end. When I click on the network icon on the desktop it doesn't give me the option to rescan either. Has anyone else had this problem, or can help me?

    reboot the router first before you do anything.

    Perhaps a silly question, but you haven't flicked the switch and turned the wireless off by accident, have you?

    That would tie in with both no connectivity and Network Manager not rescanning!

    :oops:

    That's exactly what I did. I never noticed the switch before to be honest.
