Bug Description

I am running Trusty beta AMD64 version. After a recent update I have had problems with the wifi... it will occasionally break the connection and thereafter no wireless connections will show up.... I then have to turn off wifi and then turn back on... my wifi connection will then immediatly reconnect. Also the hardware wifi toggle button on my laptop does not work to toggle my wifi on/off.

This is still an issue. Connection breaks when laptop goes into standby mode... after waking the wireless menu will not show any connections, I have to then turn off wifi, then back on and it will then auto connect. The hardware keyboard shortcut button will not operate/toggle the wifi on/off. I am using a HP 2000 laptop.

Sorry, this was due to a HP bios update and was not software related... I downgraded the bios and now all is good. :)
