Mathieu, Thank you, I didn't realise that there was now a right click menu. There is indeed an "Enable wireless" option there that works.
I suggest tweaking the UI to make this clear. There are going to be lots of people like me upgrading from 12.04 who aren't going to be aware of the right click menu. -- 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/1063497 Title: Can't enable wireless Status in “network-manager” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: On booting and logging into Ubuntu 12.10 beta 2, under the network menu, "Wireless networks" is shown in grey and cannot be selected. Directly below it, also in grey, is "wireless is disabled". This is a regression, and it used to work correctly in 12.04. I'm able to manually bring up the interface using: ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scanning iwconfig wlan0 essid <my network> dhclient wlan0 All of these commands work correctly, and I am submitting this bug report over this network interface.
