Device: Iliad
Iliad WIFI is suddenly broken (Cant even scan)

I have had my iliad for a few months and have been happily connecting to my local network over WIFI with WEP security.
Recently, however, during a download of new books from my local PC, the download halted. Since that time I have not been able to connect to any wireless networks. In fact the Iliad will not even scan local wireless nodes.
I have used the mrxvt package to get command line access to the iliad in an attempt to diagnose the problem. The command "ifconfig wlan0" returns "error fetching device information: Device not found".
Has my WIFI vanished????
What can I do to re-activate my WIFI?

I have tried rebooting the Iliad, reflashing the unit, re-formatting the internal memory and even running the battery down - none of which has made a difference.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is there any way to fix it?

Device is an Iliad v2 with firmware 2.12 loaded

Help
