yes a new issue , i had the internet on ethernet. then came to use wifi and the wifi button would not engage. numerous attempts to use the network prefs have proved a dead end. i'm currently running internet on USB through iPhone . need to use wifi ... though
Suggest About this Mac >> System Report >> Network >> Locations and look if the Wifi Card is listed. Also same path but in Wifi section for a listing.
If nothing listed - could be a hardware issue ?
