Bug Description

Networkmanager not visible after logging in, visible before logging in.
Trying to start System-Settings->Network results in a crash.

Seeing this in dmesg after boot:
[ 10.677818] iwlwifi 0000:24:00.0: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

Cant enable RF_KILL after this with HW button. Worked just a few weeks ago.
