On my N9 there's a weird Wifi problem.
I had this from the start, and after updating to PR1.1 it's unfortunately still there.

The problem pops up now and then, and a reboot solves it. Until the next time, that is.

Symptoms:
- device can't find any networks when clicking 'connect', it just shows the gsm provider and the choice to connect to networks with hidden ssid
- it will also not connect when triggered by an app (as it does when starting the browser)
- it will also not connect by itself when allowing background connections
- it will connect when going to 'manage network connections', selecting the proper wifi network, then going to 'advanced' and then to 'connect to this network'.
(same if I use a dbus command to connect to my home network, it will connect in that case)
- - but after that, strangely, it will not be able to go on the web... I will be able to ssh/sftp into it...!!?!

and now for the really funky part:
when ssh-ing into the device, route shows the proper IP address as gw / gateway, and I can do
ping www.google.ch
without issue! It shows ping times, the proper IP address it's pinging to, etc.

So, the device is connected, the wifi link works, DNS works, I think I tried wget and it also works, just the GUI stuff won't connect - grob (browser), youtube, etc...

I am baffled at this. Any hints?

I have the same issue. My post won't solve your problem, but you'll know there is at least one more N9 as yours.

Ok, found a solution; do as root:
Code:
/sbin/initctl restart xsession/icd2
after that, using the gui to connect to wifi will show networks again, and after connecting, webbrowser and such work again.

FYI and for myself to remember: I used
dmesg
to see what was doing stuff, then
tail -f /var/log/syslog
and noticed icd2, then used
/sbin/initctl help
and
/sbin/initctl list
to find out which process to restart...

Great to see there's a workaround for you! Have you reported this in the tracker?
Next time it pops up you'll know what logs/data they want you to gather etc.

Well, it pops up on a daily basis, at least now there's no lengthy reboot needed...
What is this tracker thingy?
And should I mention this at meego.com forums too?
