More info. What card? What drivers are you using for it? What changed between reboot? Did you install a new kernel? I've had two kernel updates for ubuntu 8 in the last week so I'm thinking the -18 kernel must have had some issues, maybe that's it? try going back to an earliler kernel that you know was working. Help can be a bit difficult to find on the ubuntu sites as the info tends to be a bit old, but I've had some of these issues recently and will offer any help I can give.
