Because, generally speaking, greyed out WiFi means the chip is burnt and I have had a 1-for-1 replacement earlier for my i3G SingTel set due to that. And if the chip is burnt, then I don't think any freezing would help unless you now tell us otherwise.

That being the case, why do you need to change the WiFi Chip(I am assuming it is that)? It is network problem isn't it, as stated by you? As mentioned by me, only if the chip is burnt you need to change if your phone's warranty period is over otherwise you can claim for a new one.

for the past few days my SBSettings is showing my wifi ip as 192.168.20.1 even though my wifi has been disabled.
funny thing is that, i can still connect to my home wireless network and browse the internet etc, which has an ip address scheme of 192.168.1.x but SBSettings doesn't show it. it still shows 192.168.20.1
when i launch iFile it will load the webserver with ip address of 192.168.20.1 which is wrong :\
is there anyway to reset the ip address without having to reboot the phone or reset network settings?

I just updated Iphone 3G to 3.1.2. After updating it, i found that the camera app is missing and the wifi is greyed out. I searched online and managed to get back camera by going to restrictions. However, the wifi being greyed out is still a problem. I read multiple forums, tried the soft restart, the reset network, reset all data and connection info, connect to itunes method. None of them worked. I am sure this is not a jailbreak issue as it happened before I jailbroken the Iphone 3G. There is suggestion that the wifi chip could be burnt and thus the wifi option is greyed out (also under settings there is no wifi address).
Like to ask the guru here if this is really a case of hardware failure? Appreciate help from those who hopefully has this issue resolved.

Since it was a SingTel set, sent it there and had a replacement on the spot. Apparently, it is a hardware issue.
