I eventually tracked it down to the nm-applet, which was failing to start. Manually running this restored the wireless, although it remained very unstable. As far as the admin privileges go, I tried creating a new admin user (once I'd eventually found the relevant command), and logged in as that user - without any problems. So I assume that somewhere down the line it was my own user settings that were at fault. When I initially upgraded to 10.04, I reformatted my / partition, but not my /home partition, so I decided on a completely fresh install, reformatting all the relevant partitions, and I now have a fully functioning system again. The most irritating thing about the whole process was having to find the blasted network cable... :) Anyhow, al fixed now. Thanks for your feedback! Gus
