I have just returned from a trip on which I took my laptop. The hotel I stayed at had wired network access only. I used this network with a cat-5 cable connection.
When I returned home, my wireless network connection was not working. I get the message "Firefox cannot find the server at www.google.com" when I bring up Firefox. I get the message "error while fetching mail" when I bring up Evolution.
I have desktop Ubuntu based systems which are working correctly.
Everything was working perfectly on the laptop before I left.
nm-tool output is:
