    My Wifi network died last night. I restarted the router but it didn't help.

    I have an asus 1201n and I'm running 11.04! I've checked the other questions on this subject but none has an answer.

    I AM AN IDIOT! Have bought and returned two wifi usb sticks thinking the built-in wifi had died on the laptop! The Fn + Fm combo worked for me.
