Additional info... this seems incredibly common to the Dell systems. All Dells I've tested so far exhibit this behaviour.
The upside is that I finally managed to get wireless turned back on on the Latitude 2120. The downside is that I had to reinstall the OS to do so. For whatever reason, reinstalling fixed it. So this tells me that using the hot-key to disable wireless sets a bit somewhere in the OS but from that point on, that bit can't be unset. So that may be a good clue where to start looking to resolve this, and it should resolve this issue across all the dells. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/775281 Title: [Dell Latitude 2120] Turning off wi-fi with hotkey seems to permenantly disable wi-fi -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
