I've attached the syslog as requested, but bizarrely, the 
network-manager restart doesnt fix it now, like it did before.  I cant 
remember but I might have run update-manager last night so that could 
have changed things.  Nothing in synaptic's history though.  (Does 
update-manager keep a different history file?)

But the problem is different than I originally understood.  It's 
actually just the "Enable Wireless" option on the right-click menu 
that's disabled.  The wireless still works just fine.

When I use dbus-send to turn it on and off by hand I can see wireless 
networks on the left-click menu of the network-manager icon when its on, 
and of course none when it's off, but the "Enable Wireless" option is 
still greyed out on the right-click menu:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call 
--dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager 
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set 
string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager string:WirelessEnabled 
variant:boolean:false

What more can I provide you with?
