Certainly; please see screenshot1.png attached. Yes, the first thing I did was to double check that the hardware switch was set to enabled. Also, as previously mentioned, the interface can be configured without problems using command line tools, and all my submissions to this ticket have been done over the wireless interface.

Directly below it, also in grey, is "wireless is disabled". This is a regression, and it used to work correctly in 12.04. I'm able to manually bring up the interface using: ifconfig wlan0 up iwlist wlan0 scanning iwconfig wlan0 essid <my network> dhclient wlan0 All of these commands work correctly, and I am submitting this bug report over this network interface.
