Susan,

According to the WifiSyslog file attached, the radio killswitch for
wireless would be disabling wireless networks. You may want to look on
your system whether there is a physical switch, and if it's indeed in
the "enabled" position. Otherwise, laptops often have a "virtual"
killswitch in the form of a key combination, such as Fn+F7 (on Dell
systems). Look for an antenna drawing on function keys.

If flipping the switch or using the key combination doesn't work; please
see if you can re-enable wifi with the "rfkill unblock all" command.

And finally, if this doesn't last across reboots, it's possible that a
kernel update has caused issues with the killswitch detection. In that
case we'll need to transfer this to the 'linux' package.

Please let me know! :)
