    I've been running Xubuntu 9.04 on my AOA-110 for a couple weeks. Today I started having trouble connecting to WiFi and decided to reboot to see if it helps. Now my WiFi is gone completely! No option to run wireless, no option to enable wifi.....I'm at a loss. Anyone else having this issue? Anyone know how turn WiFi back on?

    Thanks!

    I had intermittent Wifi problems on my A150, I cured it by connecting with an ethernet cable and install WICD instead of the defauly network manager. WICD is in the default 9.04 repositories. Do this in the terminal to install it...

    Code:
    sudo apt-get install wicd
    WICD is much smaller and a much more featured network manager.

    To my mind the new network manager nm-applet is the best yet for network setup, config, use. I use it on kubuntu but it is in the ubuntu repositories.
