Public bug reported:
The step-by-step way to reproduce the bug:
1) Once deactivated the wireless network, then re-activating it causes
the laptop to freeze.
And in the next start (after removing battery and power wire, then
plugging it again) there are not longer references nor options regarding
the wireless network, nor even there is the activate wireless network
option, only there is the wired connection options at the nm-applet (as
seen in the attached photo).
2) So, to re-activate the wireless network, I have to run the "sudo
rfkill unblock all" command, and to restart the laptop (or, another
option for this it's to restart the laptop in Windows Vista then
activating the wireless connection via "HP Wireless Assistant").
3) Thus, the wireless network options do appear again at nm-applet, but
yet deactivated the wireless connection; Then clicking the activate
wireless connection at nm-applet it works without freezing the machine
this time.
The whole above procedure it's reproducible as it happens all the times
I deactivate then reactivate the wireless network at the nm-applet.
