It is most likely that your netbooks' hardware is failing. I would run a memory test in the least but that sounds like it could be a NIC (Network Interface Card) failing.

  • watch for error messages on network card initialization on dbus. Digit in the command line: dmesg
  • check the wireless. Digit in the command line: iwconfig If the wireless is not started. Digit in the command line:ifconfig wlan0 up
  • try manually association. e.g. iwconfig wlan0 essid mynet key 16a12bd649ced7ce42ee3f383c
