Public bug reported:
I noticed last night that one of my wireless access points was not
listed in nm-applet, which seemed odd given that it was only 2 metres
away. I thought that disabling and re-enabling the wifi might cause a
rescan, so I clicked Disable wireless networking in nm-applet. Now, nm-
applet will not allow me to re-enable wireless - the section in the
drop-down is greyed out, and says "wireless is disabled by hardware
switch", even though the wireless card is enabled.
