Hi all

This has happened two times sinece I installed Hoary on my system
yesterday. Suddenly my wireless connection is not working anymore. A
screenshot showing the wireless conn. indicator is attached.

I tried to solve it without restarting the system by executing the
following commands with no success:

behrangsa@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ifup eth1
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
ifup: interface eth1 already configured

This showed that my wireless adapter is already up. Then I did this:

behrangsa@Ubuntu:~$ sudo ifdown eth1

No DHCPOFFERS received.
No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Again, I couldn't solve the problem without restarting.

BTW - The wireless went of once again when I was writing this email :(

Any help will be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Behrang.
