My wireless connection disappeared

After the usual panic and hoping lots of rebooting would fix something, I right clicked on the 'WiFi Manager' icon - now a box with a red cross on it.

I suddenly got booted off the internet last night, and when I tried to reconnect, found the box usually containing the list of detected hotspots was totally empty! AND, only the 'AirplaneMode' button was at the bottom of that. I'm calling the little 'WiFi' icon (on the taskbar, lower right) the 'WiFi Manager' - if anyone would mind responding with its correct title, I'd be grateful.

I notice a lot of forum angst about the sudden disappearance of the list of WiFi hotspots detected (right-hand side of taskbar) and so inability to connect with the internet.īeing - literally - a gumby, I don't know the terms for various things so I hope folk know what I'm talking about.
