I'm having the exact same issue. The difference is that I didn't know how to manually get the wireless going with iwconfig, so the way I thought was to restart gdm.
Well... here is another information that might prove useful: I couldn't :) // I can stop gdm, but I cannot start it again. And not only it crashes, but it also takes down with it the ttys I use to restart it. Good news is that I can still properly (gently) bring the system down with the power button (I sertainly can't say if any of this info might prove useful, but I thought I should try) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/722664 Title: wireless card does not start if computer booted with wireless card disabled -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
