Wireless stopped working in Lucid 528 [solved]
Posted: Mon 02 Jul 2012, 02:12
Wireless connection was working weeks ago but now suddenly it fails to connect to either of two routers I regularly use (home and work). The connection wizard sees the routers but when I try to connect, it fails. They're both unencrypted but the one at work is MAC filtered.

What's wrong with it and how can I fix it?
