Bug Description
Network manager shows Wifi is disabled by hardware switch. It worked jut after install but not anymore after.
I read somewhere I can use wicd and that does work.
iwlist wlan0 scan worked also before installing that.
Seems like a bug in network-manager to me.
It would be nice if NM does whatever wicd does to enable the wifi card.
I have nog physical button for wif and wifi is enabled in the UEFI firmware.
