Wifi connection impossible after sce-update.

Hi,

this morning I made a sce-update -snar.
Everything went fine... apparently.
Now I can't connect anymore with sudo wifi.sh or its menu link: the network is seen as usual, but after trying for long it fails the connection.
I noticed that before checking for the available networks, the script shows an error message saying that /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv doesn't exist.
What do you suggest?

Thanks

Bye

--- Code: ---echo wext | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv

--- End code ---
or

--- Code: ---echo nl80211 | sudo tee /etc/sysconfig/wifi-wpadrv

--- End code ---

Thanks Misalf: it worked!
But I would like to better understand: what happened? And what the command here above did to solve the problem?

Misalf:
I guess the startup script for the wifi extension in dCore got somehow messed up due to the update. Jason probably needs to fix it?

From  wifi.tcz.info

Yes, a fix is needed, because I have to use this command again after every reboot...  :(
