It is as if it uninstalled my wifi card (that is to say, I click on the network icon and "enable wireless" is gone altogether).<br /><br />I also realised that the update manager had worked on some stuff, so that might be the problem, but I had seen others have connectivity issues as a result of the Boxee install. I will look into it and get back to you.<br /><br />How do we help the Boxee team avoid all this confusion?
