[Trisquel-users] "Enable Wi-Fi" disappears from network menu when ThinkPenguin's wireless USB ethernet adapter loses connection

[amenex]

In order to free up some ethernet lines on my router, I got a  
ThinkPenguin.com USB wireless ethernet adapter. It works OK, but my FIOS  
connection is flaky, and the wireless ethernet connection gets dropped  
frequently (on other PC's too). This is probably not ThinkPenguin's fault,  
but in order to regain my wireless connection, I have to move the USB  
wireless adapter to another USB port on my Trisquel 7 installation.

If there were an "Enable W-Fi" menu item still there in my Networking menu,  
this would be no big deal, but that item disappears from the network menu  
when the wireless connection gets dropped, and it doesn't reappear until I  
move that USB wireless adapter to another port.

Is there a Trisquel 7 command or application that can maintain that menu item  
for me ?
