Just got started recently with Raspberry Pi 2.
One day 1, fired up RPi2, connected it to Laptop using Ethernet and did SSH to the device. I was also able to open up wpa_gui tool and see the listed WiFi networks. My WiPi dongle was working well and blue light flashing.
Today on Day 2 when I plugged in my WiPi, there is no Blue light, just one micro-second flash the moment it is plugged in and dead after that. "ifconfig" does show me wlan listed. wpa_gui shows nothing. Seems the dongle went dead.
pi@raspberrypi ~ $ iwconfig

Can someone help troubleshoot this?
