Thanks for the replies, I had an awfully busy night and didn't have much time to hack NM but just wanted to give quick updates on the commands above: * nm-tool shows no wireless networks * rfkill shows everything is unblocked * I can scan wireless networks with iwlist * This is something relevant I found on messages: > (wlan0): device state change: unavailable -> disconnected (reason > 'supplicant-available') I am not able to copy the exact outputs right now (they are in the laptop, without wireless), but that should give us a bit of an idea of what the situation looks like. I searched around and found some strikingly similar bugs in Fedora 15[0][1], which uses NM 0.9 so my issue could be along those lines. I didn't have time to read through all of them, but I'll try that tomorrow. If needed, I could still post the output of the commands tomorrow to help debugging Thanks againf or the help. David E.
