I just installed the recommended software updates, as the update manager told me to, and now my wireless connections aren't showing up at all. I suspect it may possibly relate to the big kernel update, but really I wouldn't have a clue. I had to fix my wireless a while ago by downloading a separate driver and after that it worked fine, but now it's back to its old tricks. I also tried the make file in the folder for that driver and it didn't seem to do anything.

02:01.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
I have a feeling that's not really what my card is. I'm using a Compaq Presario C700. Anyway iwconfig reads:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
pan0 no wireless extensions.
Any help would be MUCH appreciated.
Thanks.
