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
