Thanks, Julian! Somewhat confirms my knee-jerk reaction that it is a
hardware problem...
After I sent the posting, I have had two other bits of strange
behavior:
1) While normally, as I indicated, flipping the switch for
the radio OFF/ON would bring back the steady light, a
couple of times last night, it kept blinking even with
the switch in the OFF position.
2) Then, this morning, even with the light steady ON, the
system lost contact with the router/AP. Required a re-boot
to get it back. [The router was OK.]
I'm not sure the latter problem is part of the same problem, though,
because I've lost the connection a couple of times since I changed the
AP security from WEP64 to WEP128. Until this morning, recycling the
power on the router/AP would re-establish the connection without a
reboot. This morning, it did not. If the connection keeps dropping,
I'll go back to WEP64 to see if the dropped connection continues to
happen.
