Comment 3 for bug 637930

I've attached the syslog as requested, but bizarrely, the
network-manager restart doesnt fix it now, like it did before. I cant
remember but I might have run update-manager last night so that could
have changed things. Nothing in synaptic's history though. (Does
update-manager keep a different history file?)

But the problem is different than I originally understood. It's
actually just the "Enable Wireless" option on the right-click menu
that's disabled. The wireless still works just fine.

When I use dbus-send to turn it on and off by hand I can see wireless
networks on the left-click menu of the network-manager icon when its on,
and of course none when it's off, but the "Enable Wireless" option is
still greyed out on the right-click menu:

dbus-send --system --type=method_call
--dest=org.freedesktop.NetworkManager /org/freedesktop/NetworkManager
org.freedesktop.DBus.Properties.Set
string:org.freedesktop.NetworkManager string:WirelessEnabled
variant:boolean:false

What more can I provide you with?
