It was working this morning.  I have an ASUS HE1000 EEE netbook.  It runs 
testing.  Early this morning at home the wifi worked fine.

Later thsi mornign I was at a location where there was no usable wifi 
signeal, and rather than ahve it wasting battery looking for a 
connection, I right-clicked on the icon with two terminals and a red box 
with an white X, got a menu, and unchecked the option that enabled 
wireless.

Later, back at home, I tried enabling wireless again.  TO my sutprise, 
the option had disappeared from the menu.  I seem to have no obvious way 
to turn wifi on.  The menu which used to have an option that enabled wifi 
now just has
   * Enable Networking (checked)
   * Enable Notifications (checked)
(greyed out) Connection Information
   * Edit Connections
   * About
 
No option for wifi.

What can I do to turn wifi on again?

I did *not* do an upgrade to my system between this morning and now.  
The collection of availkable drivers shoulkd be identical between now and 
then, unless the system did something behind my back.

All I did that seems relevant was uncheck a menu item that normally just 
temporarily turns off wifi.  It's as if this time it expunged wifi from 
my system permanently.
