I am not sure what I did to cause this.  The router has the option of making the wireless invisible, but I have turned this off.

They don't have to support the OS, only the hardware. Try a simply non
encrypted connection first and then add WPA2. Do you have another
computer you can test with, even if Windows? However, given that you
don't see a signal, I'd suspect the router. Have you tried resetting to
factory default? They have an office/warehouse in Mississauga, near
Dundas & Hwy 403. I don't know if they have any support people there,
but perhaps they could verify it is working. What about where you bought
it? Is it new? If so, they may be able to help. You might also want to
try bringing it to a TLUG meeting or the Linux Cafe, where someone can
help you.
