Unhappy Wifi not working on FC8. Unable to obtain IP information.


Hi, my friend borrowed my laptop for a day and he made some changes to the settings for wireless. Now, I'm not able to connect to my wireless router (for internet purpose). It always says unable to detect information for wlan0. I think its somethign to do with the settings for wlan0 and wlan0.bak (both of which are present in my network devices). What can I possibly do? I dont know where to start. Can I do any kind of manual reinstall of my drivers or restore the settings to what they are by default? FYI, I've got a broadband internet service which uses dhcp.

Thanks.
