Bug Description
After a random boot, my computer's wireless ability was disabled. Reboots did not fix the problem, neither did iwconfig, ifconfig and their variants with their tools. I had to enable it again, through BIOS. Only that way it was fixed.
My laptop: Dell Latitude D800
My wireless network card: Intel PRO/Wireless 2200BG

Good news. The above bug is not valid. I hadn't noticed then, but pressing [Fn]+[F2] (by mistake in that situation) I disabled the computer wireless.
I read the new comments in bug #110375 and I installed the software mentioned there, but with no effect. Bluetooth was not enables. In the BIOS it says "Onboard bluetooth: Not installed".
