Help Wi-Fi Problem

Had a wi-fi problem on my htc desire for a while now..

One time I went to turn wi-fi on and it just said "Unable to start wi-fi". It had worked totally fine up until that point.

I've tried doing a factory reset, rooted, updated rom but it's still not working.

When the problem happened I had not rooted the phone or changed anything really.. it just happened.

In logcat it says:

flg=0x10200000 cmp=com.android.settings/.wifi.WifiSettings bnds=[124,404][236,531] }
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 548): Received wifi state changed from Enabling to Unknown

I/WifiHW ( 79): wifi_load_driver end error 2
E/WifiService( 79): Failed to load Wi-Fi driver.
D/SettingsWifiEnabler( 548): Received wifi state changed from Enabling to Unknown


Anyone got any ideas on how to fix this?
 
My handset was sold sim-free and it's never been locked to a network. Is that what you mean by debranded?

Thanks.
