 [snip: eth0 looks normal to me for an unmanaged device]

It should be possible to change the line "State: unavailable" to "State:
disconnected" by running:

  nmcli nm wifi on

If this does not work then it might be necessary to install the package
"rfkill" and use

  rfkill list

to check if an RF killswitch has inadvertently been activated. Post any
output or error messages that you may get from these commands.
