Wi-fi off and will not turn on - MacBook

I have a MacBook aluminum unibody (late 2008) with OS 10.7.5. This morning when I turned it on, the wifi icon in the Menu bar was 'empty' (i.e. no bars) - clicking on the icon gave me the info that 'wifi is off' - I clicked 'turn wifi on'- nothing happened. I opened System Preferences - Network. Status showed Wi-Fi is off. I clicked on the 'turn wifi on' button - nothing happened. I restarted the MacBook - repeated the above steps - six times now - always the same result :-(

Can anyone suggest some other trouble shooting steps to take?

I've also unplugged and re-started the modem/router. AIl other devices in the house can connect to the network without any problems - my MacBook is the only device having problems!

Cheers,

Tricia

MacBook (13-inch Aluminum Late 2008), Mac OS X (10.7.5)
