I managed to restore my wifi using the rfkill command as described here: http://sunilkumarn.wordpress.com/2011/07/12/solution-to-wireless- disabled-by-hardware-switch/
I had to reboot for the device to become available, however, and I'd like to understand how NetworkManager got itself in such a state in the first place. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/977639 Title: NetworkManager erroneously reports iwlwifi as "disabled by hardware switch" To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/977639/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
