Bug Description
Upon upgrading from 16.04 (xenial) to 16.10 (yakkety), at some point (it was difficult to tell at what point, since due to another bug with the system fonts(?) the system fonts were unreadable blocks. That issue went away), after the packages were mostly installed, the wireless network indicator in gnome disappeared, and my connection to the internet was lost. Attempting to get a connection via wicd-curses resulted in -
ERROR:connectio
Network connection: wlan0
bus info: pci@0000:0e:00.0
Occasionally before the upgrade, this system would lose the ability to connect to wireless and it would fail at the 'getting an ip address' step of connecting in wicd-curses (and would time out if an attempt was made to connect via gnome's wireless settings), but in this case the wireless network indicator itself went away, as if there was no wireless installed at all.
Rebooting system post-install -> worked just fine, wireless indicator was there upon login again as usual.
