What happens when you run iwlist scan ?

Yes, I have one idea, if you get nothing from the above:  I spent a good 2 -
4 weeks wondering why my wireless "broke" only to find out that laptops
today have some kind of switch to turn off the wireless device.  They're
usually labeled non-intuitively and in my case, it was a spring-loaded
switch that can get flipped really easily.

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>
