My wireless connection on my Ubuntu laptop doesn't work anymore. When I<br>
run ifconfig, I see wlan, but it doesn't have an IP address.<br>
NetworkManager doesn't see even see the wireless.<br>
<br>
At this point, I don't know what is causing the problem. Any ideas?<br>

They're usually labeled non-intuitively and in my case, it was a spring-loaded switch that can get flipped really easily.<br>
