settings

Yesterday i was playing around of the wireless settings, and set up a tftp server. Today, i found the wireless icon does not show up on the panel anymore.. monitor and bluetooth are still there...

I did: ifconfig -a, and it shows: etho0 link encap:ethernet, and it has:

HWaddress inet6 addresss.
RXbytes 0 TX bytes: 0, but it does not even have a ip4 address, nor a mask.

The other one is:

l0 link encap: local loopback inet addr 127.0.0.1. mask 2550 0 0

Can anyone help me how to reset the settings for my wireless connection? Thanks
