[intrepid] Once disabled, wireless cannot be enabled. (Intel Pro wireless)

[Rachael]

Using Ubuntu 8.10, with all the latest updates etc as of 26/01/09. I disabled wireless using the Network Manager applet, and now am unable to enable it again. The option "enable wireless" is on the nm applet menu, but it is greyed out and I can't click it.

If I put "sudo lshw -C network" into the terminal, I get:

*-network DISABLED

This bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in
it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? Can you try
with the latest Karmic 9.10 release of Ubuntu? ISO CD images are
available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/releases/ .

If the issue remains, could you run the following command from a
Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal) while running Karmic. It
will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this
report.

apport-collect -p linux 321668
