I have an:
Ubuntu 12.04 with proprietary Boardcom STA Wireless driver installed
BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n wireless card
TP-LINK TD-W8101G 54Mbps Wireless ADSL2+ Modem Router
Yesterday before I went to sleep, I still connect to my wireless access point, this morning when I start my laptop I don't see it in the list - there are some neighbors listed but not mine.
The WLAN is green, with my old Nokia E72, I still see my access point with 100% signal. I have tried to restart my laptop and turn the firmware off/on by the switch but no help. I have read the WirelessTroubleShootingGuide but I can do anything. Here is some of my card info:
