Hi Michał, Your advice to blacklist the dell-laptop kernel module worked for me. Thanks!
Going by what Costi has written, Dell must be trying to save power by not enabling the hardware till the wifi signal appears, but they've not handled the situation where the signal is present before the laptop is booted. But that's just a guess.... 2010/1/25 Michał Gołębiowski <[email protected]> > @ stancosti > Did Yiu try the solution I mentioned? > > -- > "Enable wireless" greyed out in nm-applet > https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473215 > You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber > of the bug. > -- "Enable wireless" greyed out in nm-applet https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/473215 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
