I see the same problem when coming out of suspend: Ubuntu 16.04 Unity, Dell XPS 13 9333 (Sputnik 3), Intel Wireless 7260. Ubuntu 16.04 Unity, Lenovo Thinkpad X220, Intel Wireless 6205.
If I restart the network-manager service, it recovers until the next suspend: sudo systemctl restart network-manager.service On boot, the systems do show a list of wireless networks, but with the Ethernet connected icon. They are unable to join any WiFi network due to 'Insufficient privileges' and do not automatically join known networks. Once the user is logged in the applet works, until it is put into, and recovers from, suspend. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to network-manager in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1589401 Title: cannot view wifi networks after re-enabling wifi Status in NetworkManager: Confirmed Status in network-manager package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: after re enabling wifi, up-down arrows just like wired network. cannot see any wifi ssid.
