[16:20:24] -*- jnettlet bearer of bad news. [16:20:41] <jnettlet> I have returned and I believe my wifi is dead. [16:21:26] <cjb> that's excellent news; we have a reliable test case now ;-) [16:21:35] <cjb> (wad might not share my opinion of its excellence.) [16:22:48] <jnettlet> cjb: but this may be software/firmware related. I explicitly disabled the wifi card through nm-applet in GNOME, and suspended the machine by closing the lid. [16:23:13] <jnettlet> somehow I think sending the rfkill to the card puts it in a state that is susceptible to getting zapped [16:23:20] <cjb> ooh -- Richard A.
