Please provide your steps. Does the "Select connection" window display anything?

SIM card inserted? I found the wifi refused to work without SIM card installed.

TY..

I played around with my N900 for several days before inserting a SIM card and WiFi worked fine.

Why would SIM card status make any difference for WiFi connectivity?

Have you installed any of the applications that help you to turn WiFi off and on? At least one of them unloads the kernel module to save power.

Without that kernel module loaded, WiFi will not work at all.

Re: can't get my n900 to find any wifi
 
I have "WifiInfo" on my N900..
"today" I am not able to push the Power-Saving "OFF" button..

yesterday i had some installations to compile code on my N900..
I made this with X-Terminal and apt-get
Maybe is destroyed the kernel for Wifi while trying to get more space on root..

I also made this to save power..

echo 1 > /sys/power/sr_vdd2_autocomp
You can also enable it by editing /etc/pmconfig and changing the appropriate
values to 1, and rebooting.
But already revoked this settings..

how can i see if kernel for Wifi is running?
how is ist named?

Maybe.. do i have to flash? (With eMMC?!?)

TY

Now WLAN is working again..

Re: can't get my n900 to find any wifi
 
I'm not sure to understand perfectly the problem. Did you try to see the interface wlan0 with the command ifconfig (you must be log in root)? Did you play with aircrack (airmon-ng start wlan0)?
Sorry for my english ;-)

I found this recently upon removing my SIM.
Oddly even a "dead" PAYG sim will enable wifi access again.
