Isnt 169.254.*.* the panic IP address when DHCP is missing?
Perhaps it might be a flash idea to manually assign an address to see if you suddenly get connectivity back again...
Hi Andy, I tried setting a static IP address as below, but no joy.
Thanks, David
etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-wlan0 modified to set static IP address:
