The really weird part of this is the fact that wireless was working when 
we left to get my boy from school. After shopping in Concord we got back 
around 18.00 and now nothing I know can make it go again.

/var/log/messages says this:

First question: what is wmaster0?
Second question: what does "unknown hardware address type 801" mean?

Thanks!
