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?
