Small update on my situation: I connected via wifi and worked a bit on my laptop. Then i was asked to check some newly mounted rj-45 plugs, so i disconnected from wifi and connected to internet via rj-45 cable a few times. When i wanted to go back to using wifi, NetworkManager showed no wifi available, same goes for iwlist scan fired from root terminal. There was no high la, or high processor use, but saw this in my syslog:
