There seems to be a bug in the wireless driver on the N900. My workaround although a little irritating is to install Wifi-Switcher to enable/disable the wireless card on the N900. After disabling it, reenable it again using Wifi-Switcher and you will see that you will have wireless working again! :-)

Try
as root, (you may need to install the root.sh package if you haven't already) and see if the problem can be solved via the command line.
iwconfig should show if you are connected and
iwlist wlan0 scan should show any AP's in your area
Code:
apt-get install wireless-tools
iwconfig should show if you are connected and
iwlist wlan0 scan should show any AP's in your area

I don't think iwconfig will work as the interface seems unable to come up.
At CLI type

This is the first step to troubleshoot, viz are the drivers loaded and is the wireless card active.
If you don't see this, try as root, via
