Bug Description

Binary package hint: wireless-tools

I have a Dell Studio XPS 16. When I press the "wireless" button, wireless turns off as expected. However, when I press it again, nothing happens. There doesn't seem to be any way to re-enable wireless short of restarting (even logging out and back in doesn't work).
