Followup I'm not sure whether this is a bug with the driver (bcmwl-kernel-source) or networkmanager (network-manager-gnome).
Looking at the state of some things in the /sys hierarchy before and after checking "enable wireless" in network manager. I'm not sure if these are helpful or irrelevant, but it probably doesn't hurt... /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/enable "1" (before and after) /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/power/control "on" (before and after) /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/carrier "invalid node" -> "0" /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/dormant "invalid node" -> "0" /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/flags "0x1002" -> "0x1003" /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/link_mode "0" -> "1" /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/operstate "down" -> "up" /sys/bus/pci/devices/0000:07:00.0/net/eth2/power/control "auto" (before and after) -- Wireless is disabled on boot https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/631735 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
