Why I can't find my own WLAN, but my neighbors's WLANs?

Hi Guys,
I just fresh install on Macbook 6,2 the Fedora 16 without any Big Trouble,

After that I installed my Wi-Fi Driver

Code:

su -l root
rpm -Uvh hssp://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-stable.noarch.rpm hssp://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-stable.noarch.rpm
yum install kmod-wl
reboot

Now it scans for WLAN, but it doesn't find my own WLAN, which I use over 1 year without trouble. But it finds my neighbors wlan

(If I boot it on Windows, it find my WLAN)

I already googled without success, I need Help else

Is it possible that you decided not to broadcast your ssid and forgot about it in the interim?

Try entering your ssid and credentials as if your wireless network were "hidden" and seeing whether you can connect?

you can change your own SSID with other computer and connect to wifi as it would be "other" network.
