Hi,

Thank’s for the hint, also when using eee-buntu’s update mechanism the wireless got deactivated in the bios section.

Thanks a lot!!!

that is very weird. BIOS settings should never be stored in volatile memory. I’m curious to know just how prevalent this sort of thing is…

Spot on – I’d just had this happen to mine and it had indeed turned the wireless adapter off in the BIOS. No idea why, but the laptop had been sitting around for a fair while unplugged and was completely flat, maybe some parts of the BIOS settings are stored in volatile RAM?

If the PC recognizes your wireless router, then you don’t have the issue mentioned here, in this blog post.
You’ll want to see if your wireless router has a password for it (it should, for security). If it does, just ensure that you entered the password correctly on your PC.
