Bug Description

Binary package hint: network-manager

Booting all Karmic Alphas from live USB and from full install fail to enable wireless (wireless box is greyed out in network manager icon dropdown) on Dell Vostro 1720 with Intel 5100 card.

From what I can make of the sys.log, it looks like the boot sequence sees the hardware, but wireless is not available when system completes the boot. (Note: FWIW, Same drive boots a Dell 1530 with a different Intel wireless card without issue.)

Both the live Karmic Beta1 CD and full install also fail to detect the network adapter. Booting back to 9.04, the adapter works fine. FWIW, about 2 months after 9.04 was release a network update caused similar issues-card was not detected after reboot. A patch was quickly applied and posted in the proposed fixes and the wireless adapter started working again.
