Hm. This looks roughly like what I'm experiencing where if I uncheck wifi in gnome-shell or XFCE4 (haven't tried in Unity yet) it is permanently killed. XFCE4's network tool reports that the rf kill switch has been used (not so, I just used the network gui).
Oddly, if I actually toggle the real physical rf kill switch, while bluetooth goes on and off, wifi stays dead. I have to reboot to recover. Yes, I know not precisely the same machine/pattern, but still seems related so just gonna watch this one to see what happens. Right now, I just avoid disabling wireless as much as possible. Oh. And was fine in Natty. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/823615 Title: network-manager doesn't reconnect to wireless networks after rfkill soft blocks removed To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/823615/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
