Does rfkill unblock succeed in re-enabling your wireless? (You may have to install the rfkill package.) If so, that probably indicates a bug of some kind in Network Manager. If not, that probably means that Linux itself doesn't support re-enabling the wireless device from software (or at least rfkill doesn't know how), which you could report as a bug against the relevant wireless drivers, but which is a deeper problem. One other thing that you could try is to be sure that the firmware for your wireless card is installed. Some wireless cards have (often non-free) firmware that is required to enable various features. That's packaged as the various firmware-* packages. -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
