Public bug reported:
I have experienced this issue three or more times now - that nm-applet
ceases to respond to any mouse commands at all - ignoring my selection
of an alternative wireless network, refusing to launch the connection
editor, and not allowing wireless to be disabled. The menu appears to be
responsive but none of the commands are actually run or cause any
effect.
So far, I proceeded to a workaround like this (I suspect the modprobe
steps are unnecessary).
sudo modprobe -r cp210x
sudo modprobe -r rndis_wlan
sudo modprobe rndis_wlan
sudo modprobe -r iwlwifi
sudo modprobe -r mac80211
sudo modprobe mac80211
sudo modprobe iwlwifi
...and finally...
killall nm-applet
...followed by Alt+F2 and running...
nm-applet
...again.
After these steps, nm-applet became once again responsive.
