No driver appears in SYSTEM/ADMINISTRATION/HARDWARE DRIVERS but it looks like
there is a driver b44.
The wireless was working fine until power up yesterday.
The same router is working on wired connection without any changes.
There does not seem to be a key combination which disables WIFI in Ubuntu, I
tried Fn-F1 to Fn F12 just in case there was a bios switch but no luck and it's
enabled in bios.
I feel a bit reluctant to make any changes because it WAS working just a moment
ago - but it seems a new learning curve is waiting. all suggestions gratefully
recieved.
