Comment 3 for bug 98612

This is my 2-cent workaround, in case you have the same problem I do.
My Acer Ferrari never finds the wireless on bootup. Somehow it always looks for the last IP address rather than a new one.
So, I just open the wireless icon in the top right-hand corner and re-click on the wireless network I want.
When it start looking again, it usually succeeds.
If not, I re-boot the modem.
"Instant" success.
