[mako] wlan0 state 'unavailable' after flashing

[Antti Kaijanmäki]

After flashing latest image from today, I noticed that on the first boot the wlan0 device has it state reported as 'unavailable' and thus no WiFi connection is possible.

urfkill verion: 0.6.0~20140708.110711.a0581f3-0ubuntu1

I also reproduced it flashing this morning's image with --wipe. Here's the output of urfkill's enumerate script and nmcli:

This (or a similar issue to bug 1321627) was impacting the wifi network setup on mako devices for smoke test with image 123. When I tried the workaround suggested in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/urfkill/+bug/1321627/comments/17, the wifi became active and useable

This bug was fixed in the package network-manager - 0.9.8.8-0ubuntu20

---------------
network-manager (0.9.8.8-0ubuntu20) utopic; urgency=medium

  * debian/patches/ignore_rfkill_if_urfkill_is_present.patch: send the right
    signal for WWAN when its urfkill proxy is created rather that corrupting
    the WLAN state. (LP: #1340217)
