Bug Description
Binary package hint: network-manager
It appears that the wireless adapter button works since I can see a message into the log:
----------
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog | tail -1
Nov 12 18:02:08 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Wireless now enabled by radio killswitch
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$ grep -i networkmanager /var/log/syslog | tail -1
Nov 12 18:02:12 ubuntu NetworkManager: <info> Wireless now disabled by radio killswitch
ubuntu@ubuntu:~$
----------
However I have no visual feed-back into the desktop environment. The gnome network applet doesn't show a list of available networks although the M. Vista on the same notebook on the same location a few minutes ago gave more than 15 networks available.
The network support is very important.
