My touch has the same sickness. At first it was intermittent and eventually no way to use WiFi. Every time we were hit with a power outage the Touch struggled to get back online when the power came back.
And as others said when the issue happens the WiFi NIC doesnt even show up in the options anymore. So its like the firmware doesnt recognize and initialize it at boot time. Whats so puzzling is that the issue was a gradual decline over about a years worth of time and I just dont see how this fits with the chipset being bad. I get capacitor aging but there dont seem to be electrolyte based caps in the Touch. On a SB3 recapping fixed issues and it was very obvious on an oscilloscope how the rails were dirty before and clean afterwards. This one smells like a timing issue. I also noticed that somehow temperature played a role when the issue was intermittently happening. After being off for a long time it wouldnt work - period. Once up for some time and then rebooting it would come back. But it got worse to the point where I gave up and wired it with Ethernet. I wish someone would get to the bottom of this. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ PcarSBA's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=70507 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=115308
