OR

Try a 'complete re-boot' (cold start) of the system kernel.
Hold the power switch for at least 20 seconds, 30 seconds would not hurt.
If the cold start functions detect the fouled up /var/local, it may rebuild it for you - including the information needed for the Wifi interface to once again work.

If neither of the above work - get out your serial port cable.
Sorry I did not see this post before......

Cold restart does not work. What is a "functioning diag" mode? I think to enter this mode I have to place a ENABLE_DIAG dummy file in /mnt/us. But that is not accessible now.

And for the "serial port cable", is there really a such cable that I can get a serial terminal with it?
