cannot see wirless connection after 9.04 upgrade

[unix1adm]

I upgraded to the 9.04 today. I can see and use my cell modem card but i cannot see my wireless networks.

What happened?
When I go into the Network Connections under system preferences I see the entry there but not in the upper right side where I use to see it.

How do I get my wireless working agian. This si URGENT as I need this laptop.

I am using another one to post this message but need my Linux one back online ASAP. Thanx for the help
