Changes done to your system settings before wireless broke? Did you install new software before wireless stopped working? *Provided* you didn't install new software or change settings: This is where I'd check the networking devices: Wireless router, wireless card etc. Do you still have some OSX installed? If yes: is wireless working on that system? Or do you have some Apple hardware testing DVD for your computer? What does grep eth /var/log/messages say after you tried to connect your computer to the wireless network (provided your radio card is called something like eth<whatever>) ? Sometimes even reinstalling some package might help, IIRC ... (?)
