Hi all

This has happened two times sinece I installed Hoary on my system yesterday. 
Suddenly my wireless connection is not working anymore. A screenshot showing 
the wireless conn. indicator is attached.

I tried to solve it without restarting the system by executing the following 
commands with no success:

behrangsa at Ubuntu:~$ sudo ifup eth1
Password:
Sorry, try again.
Password:
ifup: interface eth1 already configured

This showed that my wireless adapter is already up. Then I did this:

behrangsa at Ubuntu:~$ sudo ifdown eth1

No working leases in persistent database - sleeping.

Again, I couldn't solve the problem without restarting.

BTW - The wireless went of once again when I was writing this email :(

Any help will be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Behrang.
