Does anyone know how to get the wifi indicator working on the Acer Aspire One?  
I've done a lot lof work with the wifi today, then suddenly, an hour or so 
ago, I saw the signal bars drop from 4 to 1.  Then I lost the connection.

Nothing has changed, in terms of location or additional equipment in the room, 
and attempting to re-start the connection tells me that it has been 
disconnected.  I've tried fiddling with that switch again, but there is no way 
of knowing whether it is active or not.
