Hardware Problem (Wlan Onboard Chipset)

[Michael Nowag]

Hi

powering my notebook on today, I found myself unable to connect to my  
Build-In Wlan. It worked perfectly yesterday. The system is still able to  
detect the card at boot-up[1][2], but cannot start it. [2]. While still  
working the output was as follows in [3].... Am I correct in assuming that  
the card is broken in some way?! I get the same message when trying to  
initialise the card with my original ubuntu Live CD.
