Last night, i was continuing my tightening of security according to the
debain sites manual, and had pretty much finished with the securing
networks part...today, i start up my laptop and no wifi?? In the taskbar,
the wifi symbol has a question mark, hovering over it says
disconnected...but it is up in ifconfig, althougb next to up it says
Broadcast multicast (all caps) and it also says Link encap: ethernet, which
i dont think it did before. Help lol

mission accomplished. No network is a reasonable security startegy ;)

encap: ethernet is OK.

It looks more like you couldn't get an ip address.

Can you post the output of iwconfig wlan0?

What did you do to "secure" your network?

Sorry it took so long to respond. I didn't find the source problem, but
stopping all network services, checking config files, downing my wlan0
interface and then manually starting everything and if config wlan0 up
solved whatever happened.
