what also works for me is this: if killswitch is enabled (wifi off) nm-applet will disable the "[] enable wireless" menu entry turning killswitch off should enable wifi, but the status led is still off, and no access points are shown in network manager right-clicking on nm-applet "[x] enable wireless" is now activated. disabling it and then enabling it again, should bring up the status led and after some seconds all available networks. no need to modprobe/rmmod in a terminal
be careful though… i had some kernel panics when enabling/disabling wifi -- iwl3945 | iwl4965: Wireless can't be activated after disabling kill switch https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193970 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
