ifconfig showed wlan0, but bringing it up and down did nothing. Rebooting the router didn't fix it either even though the LED for the wireless remained on both times. Running...
Fixed it and the wireless came back up under the new wlan1 interface ?root@Gargoyle:~# rmmod b43

1.2.5 didn't have this problem, but it seems every version I've tried after that does. Does 1.2.5 use a different module for the wireless? Also doing wifi detect comes up blank.
