Update lost wifi driver [Solved]

[jzakiya]

Just completed the recent updates.
Besides killing my old kde configs (numerously noted by others)
my wifi was killed because the driver can't be found(?), though
I am able to connect via ethernet.

Previously, I wifi was always detected and connected on boot.

I have a Lenovo V570 laptop with Intel I5-2410M cpu and chipset.

Using "drakconnect" to configure detect/configure wifi I select:

Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N + WiMAX 6150

and get the following message when I do "next"

Unable to find network interface for selected device (using iwlwifi driver).

When I try to connect using ndiswrapper, no go too.

If this is just a driver issue, how does it get resolved?

OK, I figured this out too.

I (dual) booted into Window 7 and saw wifi didn't work there too
so I knew it wasn't an OS problem but a computer problem.

I had seen this problem before with and earlier PCLOS update.
The Wifi chip had been turned off.

On may Lenovo laptop hitting <Fn-F5> toogles the wifi chip on/off.

I did this in Windows to turn it on, rebooted into PCLOS and it was back to normal.

We need less drama with these updates.
