ideas ???

I'm using Fedora 10 !

thank you in advance !

have you updated your installation recently (via a package manager / apt-get / ...???)

Can you give us a bit more info?
What is the card name and model? How did it fail or stop working?
It's kind of hard to troubleshoot in the dark ;)

Oh it was working all the time :) ... but someone changed the channel of the wireless router.. and my WiFi card could not see it ... (under Windows it was OK !?!?!)

Thank you, for your time :P
