I did another experiment. I've remove ehternet cable, connected WiFi to my home router. Now I could reboot as much as I want, WiFi worked, checkbox is visible and is ON inside network manager widget.
BUT, later I disabled WiFi connection, attached etherne cable, rebooted and that's it - wlan0 device missing, no WiFi checkbox! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1585886 Title: WiFi indicator icon disappears in Ubuntu 16.04 Status in indicator-applet package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Dear all, Can someone confirm an occasionally missing WiFi indicator tray icon?
