Wireless Network Connection Icon Disappeared

Hi
I have a strange problem on my laptop, It is a new centrino laptop and i
have been using the wirelss connection for a long time.
suddenly today I am not able to connect to a wireless network as I dont see
my icons in the status bar searching for wireless connections.
so I go to the properties of the network places and i dont even see the
wireless network connection icon, I can only see the local area network
connection and soem 1394 connection.

any ideas on what i should do to get the wireless network connection back
again.

please help
Avi

Yes, under device manager I can still my wireless intel pro network card. I
didnt do anything to remove the network cards.
ethernet and wireless both network cards still show in the devices with no
error signs next to it.

are you recommending I remove the wireless network device and add it back.
cheers
Avi
