I have lost my wireless connection.

[Shabakthanai]

My wireless connection just stopped. I contacted my ISP and through tests found that my modem and router seem to be functioning properly. Nonetheless, when I look at the Icon for my wireless connection on the panel, it shows a '?', indicating that I am not connected.

When I select that icon a dropdown appears containing the following:



Notice the first option. I do not know when or how that appeared on my computer. I have tried to connect using that option, but it never makes a connection. I would like to remove it.

The second option is my wireless identification, STEVEN-WIFI. When I select connect, nothing happens. It used to connect and the word 'disconnect' would appear where the connect option shows.

Thanks for any reply

It may be worth un-ticking the wifi symbol and then ticking it again to disable and re-enable the wifi. A similar thing would occasionally happen when I was running Debian with a Netgear wifi card.
